Miami Marlins Will Install Shaw Sports Turf At Marlins Park
Miami -- The Miami Marlins will install a synthetic grass surface at Marlins Park as part of a multi-year corporate partnership with Shaw Sports Turf. With the enhancement to the playing surface, the club is also adjusting the outfield dimensions in center field and right-center field, moving the fences in towards home plate.
“In going through the process of evaluating the playing surface at Marlins Park in 2019, we set out to find a solution to combat the challenges we have experienced with growing natural grass in Marlins Park,” said Derek Jeter, Miami Marlins CEO. “We appreciate the extensive research and new technology from our partners at Shaw Sports Turf to help us deliver a consistent playing field designed to enhance the safety for players and the playability for baseball.”
