loanDepot park

Stadium · Miami, Florida

The home ballpark of the Miami Marlins, at 501 Marlins Way in Miami, on the former site of the Miami Orange Bowl in the Little Havana neighborhood. It opened for the regular season on April 4, 2012, was named Marlins Park from 2012 to 2020, and was renamed loanDepot park on March 31, 2021 after loanDepot bought the naming rights. It is owned by Miami-Dade County, whose commission was a party to the funding agreement behind it.

History

Construction cost was reported at $634 million, about $889 million in 2025 dollars. The ballpark achieved LEED Gold certification on May 25, 2012. Its retractable roof consists of roughly 8,300 tons of steel. The design incorporates a home run sculpture by Red Grooms and a tiled walkway by Carlos Cruz-Diez titled "Chromatic Induction in a Double Frequency", and the ballpark's four zone colors — green, red, yellow and blue — are drawn from what the source calls the four bright primary colors of Joan Miro's palette. Before it opened, the Marlins shared Sun Life Stadium with the Miami Dolphins; loanDepot park was the franchise's first home designed exclusively for baseball. The franchise began play in 1993 as the Florida Marlins and was renamed the Miami Marlins prior to the 2012 season, as part of an agreement with the park owner, Miami-Dade County, to use the new stadium. The Marlins won the World Series in 1997, over the Cleveland Indians 4-3, and in 2003, over the New York Yankees 4-2; the source states that the 1997 team was the first to win the World Series as a wild card.
