The Florida Marlins ball club constructed their brand new stadium in Little Havana, just outside downtown Miami, where the well-known Orange Bowl football stadium was once located.
Besides the large baseball field with its sliding roof, the actual stadium includes large internal areas for spectators, restaurants, and foyers, as well as around 60 sponsor lodges. When the installer, United Sheet Metal Co/Appelgate, was to decide on the supplier of the duct system, positive experiences with Linx Industries (formerly Lindab USA) from an earlier job led Linx to be the preferred supplier. So good in fact, that the choice of Linx and the local dealer Technical Systems Equipment Corporation was made without hesitation. Deliveries to the Florida Marlins Ballpark consisted of suspended Lindab Safe® round and Linx Flat Oval.
Past projects proved to be successful and we are proud of our team for their well-executed management of this job. An interesting aspect of the Florida Marlins Ballpark is that the architect, Populus, also designed the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines Iowa, and Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Linx worked on both of these projects and was pleased to provide Lindab Safe for labor and cost savings to both sports complexes.
