Looks legit. The umps are in position as are the base coaches.

It is legit.

The Marlins were playing the Nationals. Major League Baseball hilariously reported it as 10,000 (anytime it ends in four zeros you know they pulled it out of their ass). An attendee claimed to count 375.

It's a record low (by a country mile) for the top division of one of the top five (football, baseball, baseball, hockey and soccer) team sports in America.

This Stadium is now LandShark Stadium.

Home Of Miami Dolphins Now Called LandShark Stadium
Dolphin Stadium Renamed

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- Starting Friday, the home of the Miami Dolphins has a new name: LandShark Stadium.

The billboard bearing the new name and logo of the former Dolphin Stadium has already been put up.

Slideshow

Musician Jimmy Buffett owns the LandShark beer brand, a co-project with Anheuser Busch, and was instrumental in negotiating the renaming rights of the stadium.

Beginning with the first home game on Sept. 21, Dolphins fans will notice a whole new look to the stadium, which has already gone through five name changes, Local 10's Elena Echarri reported. The stadium will have a new Margaritaville-inspired area in honor of one of Buffett's most famous songs.

Buffett performed at an event at the newly dubbed LandShark Stadium on Friday to screaming Parrotheads, as Buffett fans are known, and Dol-fans.

"You got the Keys, Jimmy Buffett and LandShark Beer. What could be better?" a fan said.

Buffett promoted the new alliance with new lyrics rewritten for Dolphins fans.

The financial terms of the stadium's renaming have not been released. The deal was struck only for this coming football season so far, so there is no guarantee that the stadium will still be called LandShark for the Super Bowl.

So it's "Landshark Stadium" now, huh? Let's see: first it was called Joe Robbie Stadium, then it became Pro Player Stadium, after that Dolphins Stadium, and now it is Land... WTF is a "landshark", anyway?

***soup or man*** · May 21st, 2009, 08:14 PM

^ A shark that walks on land. What else did you think it was?

salaverryo · May 21st, 2009, 08:21 PM

It had to be a pothead like Jimmy Buffett to come up with such a ridiculous name...

Ganis · May 22nd, 2009, 09:22 AM

What happens is that MLB counts the season ticket holders for every game, even if they dont even go to the game.

Quite frankly..... yes. Why should we all crumble and shale at the hands of the corporations? We can't control what they want to call a stadium, but I can control what I call it.

Ganis · May 25th, 2009, 10:02 PM

but it has not been Joe Roddie stadium in a long time.

I can't believe us taxpayers here in South FL are having to fork out for a new Marlins stadium --- this is BS!

What happens is that Joe Robbie is to far away from Miami, and with 81 home games a year, people dont see the necesity to drive so much to se a ball game. The new stadium will be near downtown, where the Orange Bowl used to be, so more people will come to the game.

nyrmetros · May 28th, 2009, 11:47 PM

in theory more people will come. But will the Marlins average 20, 000 a night after the first 5 years of the new stadium ?
