PRO PLAYER STADIUM- Miami, FL

astros vs marlins - may 20, 2004 - i'll be the first to admit that i had no particular "excitement" about going to this dual-purpose facility in southern florida. apparently i'm not the only one. but, despite very little character inside (though the exterior was surprisingly fresh) and the fact that MAYBE 5,000 people showed up to cheer on the defending world champions, it was one of the better experiences i've had. culminated by the fact that a policeman gave us free club level tickets when we walked up to the box office. and this much i know, the club level was a very nice indoor thoroughfare with access to some pretty great seats and all the necessities you need. all in all, you have to give it up for a baseball team with cheerleaders that follow the 7th inning stretch with an annoying, yet somehow catchy..."everybody do the fish." whatever that means.
