The seemingly ever-changing Marlins Park will sport a few new looks for the 2020 campaign. While roster changes are being made to improve the Marlins‘ on-field product, that product will literally be presented on a new field.
The Marlins announced on Wednesday on their ‘Beyond the Bases’ blog that a synthetic grass surface will be installed for the upcoming season, thanks to a corporate partnership with Shaw Sports Turf. This new playing surface will replace the natural grass which struggled to take root at times in the retractable-roof stadium.
According to the announcement, the turf should closely mimic the surface play of natural grass.
