Burger King Ballpark, home of the Florida Blue Herons

The Herons moved into a new home this year, leaving behind the tired Wendell Barrett Memorial Stadium. “The Barrett” was used annually for both football and baseball, and hosted a handful of soccer games as well. While the team certainly was due for a new facility, fans grew to love The Barrett, mostly out of nostalgia. It was replaced by Burger King Ballpark three blocks down, a modern stadium which contains the largest videoboard in the USBL. It was nearly called Wendell Barrett Memorial Stadium II, but Burger King is shelling out $17 million a year in naming rights, those bastards.

I tried (and hopefully succeeded) in getting a South Florida vibe here, with a lot more bright colors that most of the parks so far. You might notice a stripe of colors above the outfield seating - zoom in on it, and it's a wall of street art murals, the likes of which are found all over Miami. For giggles, a few of the murals are repeated in a larger format on the outside back wall of the park.
