History:
The $115 million state-of-the-art, open air facility played host to its first ever Marlins game on April 5, 1993 between the Marlins and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before that, the stadium played host to 13 spring training games. The custom-built professional football stadium would have to undergo renovations in 1999 to accommodate Major League Baseball. Renovations include retractable seating on the north side of the stadium, new baseball dugouts, 660 additional lights for suitable night play, and an electric disappearing pitcher's mound. The stadium has played host to the Super Bowl, Blockbuster Bowl, and the Orange Bowl. In 1997, Pro Player Stadium hosted four World Series games between the Marlins and the Cleveland Indians.
