Quikrete's Contribution to Miami's Marlins Park
Miami's Marlins Park, the new home of the Miami Marlins, breaks the mold of Major League Baseball's "retro-look" baseball parks. The contemporary design features a five-acre retractable roof, an aquarium inside the walls of the home plate backstop, and a nightclub and swimming pool just beyond the left field wall.
The $640 million, 37,000-seat stadium was built on the site of the old Orange Bowl in the area known as Little Havana, offering a panoramic view of downtown Miami.
QUIKRETE supplied the masonry subcontractors on the project with more than 27,000, 80-pound bags of Mason Mix Type S for use in the construction of all load-bearing and non-structural masonry walls throughout the stadium. QUIKRETE Core-Fill Grout - fine also was used to fill the cavities of the structural walls. QUIKRETE provided 4,950 bags of 80-pound Mason Mix-White.
