Part 4/7:

The Marlins' stadium woes can be attributed, in part, to the design of Marlins Park. The retractable roof, intended to provide a controlled environment, has remained closed for the vast majority of the time, with the roof being open for only 2% of games in 2021. This is due to the high humidity and frequent thunderstorms that plague Miami during the summer months, the prime baseball season.

The stadium's small capacity, initially around 37,000, has also been a hindrance, with the team forced to close off the entire upper deck just a few years after the stadium's opening due to lack of attendance. The Marlins' offensive struggles have further exacerbated the problem, as the team has consistently ranked near the bottom of the league in runs scored since moving to Marlins Park.
