The ballpark will be oriented the same way as Miller, Great American, PNC, Rangers, Comerica, and US Cellular.
Where did the Royal Caribbean Colosseum name come from? It's not even on the Wikipedia page, and I've never heard any talk of the naming rights deal being done anytime soon. Still, it's not a bad name at all for a park, and it represents an important South Florida industry - cruise ship tourism, which pays for a lot of things down here.1997 2003

Nothing newsworthy about it.
Not always fun for the outfielders though.I AM SO THANKFUL FOR BEING BORN IN NEW YORK AND FOR BEING A FAN OF ALL NEW YORK SPORTS TEAMS

No, speaking from experience as a former high school baseball player who had to endure Saturday morning practices in South Florida, the mornings are just as bad, in a different way. The grass is soaking wet, which isn't good for trying to pick up balls in the outfield. It's unbelievably humid around 9-10 am. I'd rather be outside at 3 in the afternoon when it's a little drier. There's really no good time for any outdoor activities in the summer, except water-related stuff
Royal Caribbean Field sounds nice. Land Shark Coliseum would be more appropriate for the size of the Dolph.1997 2003
