Related: About this forumMiami Marlins working to plug leaks in Marlins Park’s roof
With the roof closed more than expected, the Marlins learned that leaks must be fixed and that the outfield grass needs some care.
Marlins president David Samson said it was going to take the organization all year to work out the kinks at the new ballpark.
A month in, the Marlins are still trying to figure out how to plug leaks in their 8,000-ton retractable roof and how to stop the grass from dying in the outfield.
We knew going in the other retractable-roof ballparks had to make adjustments the first two years to get their ballpark right, Samson said. We hope we get it right the first time. So far, its not right. Were going to keep working and finding a way to make it better.
With the team hitting the road Tuesday for nine games in San Francisco, San Diego and Houston, the grounds crew at Marlins Park is first going to turn its attention to the grass in the outfield particularly right field that is turning brown.

He has surpassed Jerry Jones.

Ironically, guess who comes up when you google "biggest con-man in professional sports"?
