miami marine stadium



miami marine stadium was originally built for power boat racing in 1964 and was designed by architect
hilario candela. the modernist building located at virginia key, consisted of a cantilevered roof and was
one of the largest spans of unsupported concrete in the world. over time the stadium's use changed
and was not just limited to water sports. a floating stage was built to allow the stadium to host concerts
and other major events. when the city was hit by a hurricane in 1992, the building ceased use. in a new
effort to revitalise this once admired building the city of miami has declared it a landmark structure.
plans have yet to be released regarding its refurbishment.

my wonderful girlfriend andrea is from key biscayne (area of miami where this is located).. she was a member of the rowing club that was right next door and we were always interested in the structure.. seems to be a graff hotspot and a good place to catch a nap if you are a sunseeking homeless individual in the area.... would be interesting to see more of their plans...
