Miami opened a retractable-roof park on the Orange Bowl site. The 'Homer' sculpture in center field was an instant lightning rod for criticism.
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.
Miami hosted the Midsummer Classic.
The center-field sculpture was relocated outside the park. Owners Bruce Sherman and Derek Jeter described it as a fresh start.
Marlins Park was renamed loanDepot park (with lowercase styling).
