Retractable roof — almost always closed during day games due to Miami heat and afternoon thunderstorms.
Built on the site of the demolished Orange Bowl, where the Marlins' predecessors (and the Dolphins, Hurricanes, and many Super Bowls) once played.
The Bobblehead Museum behind home plate — a glass case of bobblehead figures perpetually nodding from speaker vibrations.
Originally Marlins Park; renamed loanDepot park (lowercase) in 2021. The 'Homer' sculpture in center field was removed in 2019.

Hosting the 2017 All-Star Game.
José Fernández's tragic death in September 2016 and the emotional first home game after his loss — Dee Gordon's leadoff homer.
The 2024 NL Wild Card series win over Philadelphia — the Marlins' first October series victory since 2003.
The 'Homer' sculpture — a controversial center-field statue that erupted in fish, color, and chaos after every Marlins home run, until its 2019 removal.

2012
Marlins Park opens
Miami opened a retractable-roof park on the Orange Bowl site. The 'Homer' sculpture in center field was an instant lightning rod for criticism.
2016
Tragedy and tribute
Pitcher José Fernández died in a boating accident on September 25. The next day's home game began with Dee Gordon — wearing Fernández's helmet — hitting a leadoff home run.
2017
All-Star Game
Miami hosted the Midsummer Classic.
2019
'Homer' removed
The center-field sculpture was relocated outside the park. Owners Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter described it as a fresh start.
