With a left-field nightclub straight out of South Beach, a custom-built contemporary-art installation marking each Marlins home run and victory, and a color palette as limitless as it is bright, Marlins Park isn’t your grandparents’ — or even, your parents’ — ballpark. The Marlins’ new home in Miami’s Little Havana is truly a new-era ballpark, reflecting its city and anticipating the future of the fan experience.

More than 130 industry leaders traveled to Miami for SVG’s annual Sports Venue Technology Summit at Marlins Park on Oct. 23. Attendees were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the technology deployed at the stadium: visits to the control room, truck bay, and data center were followed by an afternoon of panel discussions and presentations on the latest trends in multiscreen video, in-venue connectivity, and control-room design.
