Miami Marlins’ expensive beers getting a price cut
The Miami Marlins have one of the highest beer prices of any major league ballpark at $8 per glass, but according to the Miami Herald, there’s about to be some relief for fans who want to enjoy a cold brew at Marlins Park.

If fans use one of the regular concession stands or buy from a vendor, they’ll still pay the standard $8 for a 16-ounce beer. But if they are willing to walk over to one of the in-park bars, they’ll get the discounted price of $6 for their refreshment.
The Marlins are also adding a special Happy Hour on Fridays where between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. beers cost only $4 at the Budweiser Bow Tie Bar.
“We’re always taking a look at all our concessions — what we offer, the size of our offerings, the price of our offerings,” team president David Samson said.
“We felt there were two opportunities with beer we wanted to do. We wanted to see if we could get a lower-price beer, which we got. And we wanted to see if we could do a happy hour — because we want people to get out here before the game starts.”
Perhaps the Marlins should concentrate on…oh, I don’t know…retaining top players to keep fans happy? Just a thought.
