Who wins here?

This came into my mailbox a couple of days ago. 

They can say what they want. The reality is that the marlins don't have to pay parking attendants, and get the city to manage the parking situation (as I recall the city gets $10 per space filled, based on the original deal, so the marlins make $5 with no cost). 

And this eliminates the resale market, meaning they always make the money.

New Free Flow Parking at Marlins Park
We heard you and we are here to improve your experience.
The Miami Marlins are pleased to introduce Free Flow Parking which will ease the arrival experience to Marlins Park for Marlins games and other ballpark events. Free Flow Parking will be convenient for event attendees; aimed to mitigate traffic and congestion around the ballpark, and provide event attendees quicker access to ballpark amenities and the action on the field. In partnership with Miami Parking Authority, the Marlins will become the first professional sports team to offer full on-site free-flow parking which uses a vehicle's license plate as the credential for parking on event days.

With this exciting announcement, we are also resetting the price of parking for Marlins home games. Fans who pre-purchase parking at Marlins.com/Parking will pay $15 for the 2020 season, excluding Opening Day.

Free Flow Parking will:
  • Miami Parking Authority will validate parked vehicles rather than collect payments or scan parking passes at parking facility entrances
  • Allow event attendees to pre-register their license plate and pay for parking in advance via Marlins.com/Parking or the Parking icon on Marlins Page of the MLB Ballpark App
  • Allow event attendees who don't pre-register a vehicle license plate to register and pay for parking on site using the PayByPhone App or on-site pay stations located in each parking garage lobby
  • Remove the need for cashiers and allow for greater focus on guest experience from service staff
  • Allow event attendees who fail to register a vehicle license plate and receive a promissory note during the event to pay the event parking fee within 24 hours before the promissory note converts to a $36 City of Miami parking violation citation
  • Reduce carbon emissions and fuel consumption with shorter wait-times and less idling upon entering parking facilities in conjunction with additional green initiatives, including newly installed electric car charging stations and bike share kiosks
