[email protected] When FIU fans travel to Marlins Park tonight to watch the Panthers take on the Miami Marlins, they’ll be greeted by a slew of things they are not used to seeing at the FIU Baseball Stadium. They will see a towering centerfield home run sculp- ture with marlins, seagulls and flamingos attached to it. They will notice an entire swimming pool behind the left field fence. They will tilt their heads up and notice that the stadium has a retractable roof, and when they turn toward home plate, they will notice the massive aquarium lining the back wall. And, hopefully, they will take notice of the Panthers taking the field against a major league ball club for the first time in school history.
