Dear George,
The Miami Marine Stadium on Virginia Key was designed
by 27-years-old Cuban-born architect Hilario Candela.
His temporary work with Felix Candela, a distant relative
and architect of the Bacardi warehouse in Mexico, and
Max Borges Jr., architect of the Tropicana Club in
Havana, influenced his approach to design The Miami
Marine Stadium.
After Hurricane Andrew in 1992, the structure was
declared unsafe and since them has been abandoned.
Luckily renovation is in progress and some infrastructure
repair has already been completed in 2024.
Best,
R
