Florida Ghosts: Miami Marine Stadium


I didn't grow up in Miami (can't you tell?) so I had no idea about Miami Marine Stadium. Urban Paradise has a great post and great photos (like the one above) of the decaying aquatic relic. A new preservation group called Friends of The Marine Stadium intends to restore the iconic structure. I'm surprised it was not used as a location in the last Miami Vice movie, it's so atmospheric. Maybe for our next Miami-based production...

I've lived in Miami my whole life and I just learned about this place about a year and a half ago.

Have you been inside of it?

I actually got legal permission to walk around and photograph it. It was amazing.
