They have no drainage system

Does any stadium in Florida have drainage? Baseball specific. Marlins park has a retractable roof so not sure they set up drainage but even if they did they aren't using that park. I highly doubt any of the grapefruit or minor league stadiums do, just can't see the cost of that being worth it for those stadiums.

The rain is and isn't an issue i believe. Sure it rains almost every day in the summer months but it doesn't rain all day. So if you can be flexible with game start times you can get the games in. Not until late Hurricane season do you get total rainout days. The humidity will be the issue for the teams during the summer but they get a taste of that in spring training.
