Built in 1963, Miami Marine Stadium hosted many remarkable events during its 28 year history: boat races, concerts (Jimmy Buffett, The Miami Philharmonic, many rock and jazz events), Sunrise Easter Services and much more. The Stadium closed after Hurricane Andrew and has remained shuttered ever since. The City of Miami is now making plans to restore the Stadium.
