In two months, the new Marlins Ballpark and all its gleaming glory will open to fans. But it turns out fans with single-game tickets won't likely be allowed to park in the newly-built parking garages surrounding the ballpark.

City of Miami and Miami-Dade county officials are expected to announce a deal Monday that would allow the city to operate 28 new trolleys around the ballpark on game days to try to ease parking problems.

The 5,700 spaces in the four new garages are reserved for season ticket holders and VIPs.

Even if the trolleys are approved, Marlins fans have few options for public transportation and might have to look back to their their old Orange Bowl days when neighbors like Jorge Argenal in Little Havana happily gave up their front yards for parking.

The cost depended on the popularity of the game.

"Between $20 and $40," Argenal said.

He said there used to be a sense of camaraderie.

"It was fun. We used to have barbecues outside of the house, the property," he said.

Down the street, on the West side of the new ballpark, the Mendoza family had been selling spaces on their lot for 25 years before the Orange Bowl was razed.

Same with the Morales family, their friends next door.

"Oh yeah, all the time," said Willie Morales.

Now, people living in the shadow of the ballpark they helped pay for believe they're the ones who might get the last laugh.

"They're going to need our space again," Morales said. "Yeah, they're gonna need my help again."
