Ultimately, the Marlins rebranded as the Miami Marlins, moving into their new, state-of-the-art Marlins Park (now known as loanDepot Park) in 2012. The stadium featured a retractable roof, making it the only MLB stadium with a true window, and was located in the heart of the Latin community of Little Havana, seemingly positioning the team for success.
A Dismal Attendance Record
However, the move to the new stadium has not translated into increased fan engagement. In fact, the Marlins have struggled to attract crowds, with not a single season in the new stadium ranking in the top 15 for MLB attendance. This is a shocking statistic, as one would have expected the team to thrive in a brand-new, modern facility.
