Big changes are coming to the Miami Marlins’ home stadium.

The MLB team announced a partnership with The Cordish Companies to develop Miami Live!:  a “transformational” development at LoanDepot Park to further enhance the baseball experience. The development will include indoor-outdoor dining and entertainment spaces aimed at fostering community and elevating the fan experience, including curated year-round activations focused on community programming for all ages.

The Cordish Companies will bring its sports-anchored, mixed-use development plan to South Florida, mirroring its previous projects with the St. Louis Cardinals, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Flyers, Comcast Spectacor, Bally Sports, NBC Sports, and more. In Florida, the company operates projects in Miami and Orlando and is currently under development on a 223-acre mixed-use resort destination in Pompano Beach, Fla.
