Vote to Save Miami’s Historic Marine Stadium | Miami News
Description
Miami voters face a historic decision this Tuesday: save or demolish the iconic Marine Stadium, a Brutalist masterpiece built in 1963 and once the only venue for powerboat racing in the U.S. Designed by Cuban refugee Hilario Candela, it hosted legends like Elvis Presley and Jimmy Buffett, political rallies with Nixon, and even Easter sunrise services. Shut down since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, it’s been neglected—fenced off, covered in graffiti—but still pulses with soul and memory. Now, a new plan proposes partnering with a private company to restore it as a park and event space, funding repairs through ticket sales without taxing taxpayers. This vote could resurrect a cultural gem and honor its visionary architect.
