MIAMI (CBSMiami) – Its been 11 days since the Miami Marlins last played a home game.
The Marlins were one of many South Florida families displaced by Hurricane Irma, which hit the region last weekend while they were playing a series in Atlanta.
Miami was supposed to return home for a weekend series against the Brewers but officials decided to move the games to Milwaukee.
Marlins Park was fine to host ballgames but it was thought that locals in South Florida, many of whom were still without power, had more important things to worry about than going to a baseball game.
