The Third Annual Boca Raton Day will be held at Loan Depot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, on Sunday, August 23 when the Marlins host the Washington Nationals. Game time is scheduled for 1:40 pm.
Boca Raton mayor Andy Thompson will kick off the Boca Raton celebration by throwing out the first pitch before the game. About the day Thompson said, “Boca Raton Day is a wonderful opportunity for our residents to come together for an afternoon of baseball, fun, and community.”… “Sports have been a big part of my life, both as a player and a coach, so it’s an absolute honor to throw out the first pitch, which, by the powers vested in me as mayor, I hereby proclaim to be a strike.”
Tickets for the event can be purchased online in advance and will be delivered through the MLB Ballpark app. Discounted tickets are available for $25.74 to everyone, not only Boca Raton résidents.
For additional ticket information, as well as other questions, contact Keeley Himmelreich with the Miami Marlins at 305-480-1488 or by email.
Leave Your Car at Home and Take the Brightline to the Game
Brightline, fast track trains, is offering Home Runner service from Boca Raton, West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale to transport fans to and from Loan Depot Park for the game. Booking for Home Runner trains must be selected at the time of ticket purchase on the Brightline website or app.
The Home Runner train will transport guests from Boca Raton to the Miami Central Station where they will transfer to dedicated, free shuttles to Loan Depot Park, located only a mile from Central Station. The shuttles leave Miami Central ten minutes after the Brightline arrives. Return shuttles start two hours after the start of the game and “…continue until 30 minutes after the final out”. The Drop-off and Pick-up spot for the Home Runner is located at Rideshare Lot East 1.
Beverages are available for purchase on Home Runner trains. A special Marlins-branded Budweiser and a Marlins Mule are available. Guests may also upgrade to Premium, providing access to the Premium lounge where complimentary drinks and small bites are served.
It takes about 56 minutes to travel on Brightline from Boca Raton to Miami Central Station. The Brightline station in Boca Raton is located next to the Boca Raton Public Library and across from the Mizner Park shopping and dining district.
Taking Brightline cuts travel time to and from the game, not to mention the frustration and stress that come from driving. The train provides a carefree transportation alternative.
