LoanDepot Park

loanDepot Park in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood is the retractable-roof home of the Miami Marlins, built to shield fans and players from South Florida's summer heat and rain. Its modern, art-filled design -- including a colorful home run sculpture that once stood in play -- reflects Miami's vibrant culture inside an otherwise sleek, glass-heavy ballpark. The roof stays closed for most of the season, keeping the building climate-controlled and turning the park into an air-conditioned refuge on brutal August afternoons. It's one of the smallest parks in MLB, giving even modest crowds an intimate feel.

Opened in 2012 as Marlins Park before taking its current name, the ballpark has become a fixture on the international baseball calendar, hosting World Baseball Classic games in 2013, 2017, and the 2023 championship, plus the 2026 WBC semifinals and final. It also hosted the 2017 MLB All-Star Game. The retractable roof and climate control were a deliberate answer to the sweltering, rain-prone conditions that plagued the Marlins' previous outdoor home, Sun Life Stadium. Its low fences and quirky dimensions have made it a distinctly Miami entry in MLB's modern ballpark boom.
