The upper bowl will be closed for six dates during the teams nine-game homestand that begins next Tuesday. Fans can sit only in the lower bowl for games May?14-16 against Cincinnati and May?20-22 against Philadelphia. The upper bowl will remain open for May17-19 games against Arizona.
Marlins representative P.J. Loyello said the team has not decided whether to close the upper bowl for all Monday-through-Thursday home games, and decisions will be made before each homestand. About 10,000 of the stadiums 37,442 seats are in the upper bowl.
