PARTY ON THE BEACH: Loria said, "The names selected reflect the flavor of multicultural Miami and the uniqueness of the ballpark's many features. Also, the city's scenic skyline and distinct food and entertainment options will contribute to a great fan experience." MLB.com's Joe Frisaro noted the new ballpark will feature two party zones. La Playa in left field will "feature a swimming pool and bar" and offer "direct views of the field and Marlins' bullpen." The Bullpen Fiesta Zone in right field offers a "direct view of the field and the visitors' bullpen." The ballpark also will feature a "special Home Run Porch in right field with close to 2,000 seats" (MLB.com, 3/9).
