The gaudy and artisanal sculpture located just above the fence in the center-left field of Marlins Park will go, leave, leave.
The Miami-Dade County Public Art Committee unanimously voted Tuesday to approve the Marlins plan to move the seven-story "Homer" sculpture to a new location outside the stadium.
The multicolored sculpture, created by the multimedia artist Red Grooms for $ 2.5 million and set up in 2012, was illuminated by all Marlins homers, while flamingos fluttered their wings and that the marlins jumped from the dancing waters, clearing a group of palm trees.
"[It’s] a topic of passion for Marlins fans, whether they like it or not, "Marlins general manager Derek Jeter said of the sculpture before the season. We are always looking to improve the experience of our fans, and we are listening to what you are saying. "
The Marlins plan to use the space inside the stadium to create a new spectator area reserved for standing.
