U of Miami Proposals for Marine Stadium Site
The Marine Stadium is part of the City's vision for Virginia Key. What other types of activities/facilities should complement the Stadium?
In the spring of 2010, an MBA Finance Course from the University of Miami under the direction of Professor Andrea Heuson studied three different alternatives. The reports of the three student teams are below. Copy and paste the web links into your browser to see them.

This engineering study was organized with the assistance of the World Monuments Fund. Done by the engineering firm of Simpson Gumpertz and Heger (SGH), its purpose was to document the cost of restoration of the concrete. The study estimated that restoration costs would range from $5.5-$8.5 million, depending upon how much additional work is done to extend the life of the restoration. This figures compares to estimates as high as $15 million done in a previous report (2008) for the City of Miami.
SGH used core sampling techniques to document costs. The report done for the City was based on a visual inspection. SGH is familiar with the Marine Stadiium as they had done a study in 1993 of the structure. The sub-contractor, Structural Preservation Systems, worked on the City's previous study.
The study recommends that a follow-on study is done to determine the condition and costs of the piles under the land and under the sea bed.
We very much appreciate the assistance of the World Monuments Fund in this study and would like to thank the other sponsors of the study:
The Villagers, Inc.
Dade Heritage Trust
The National Trust For Historic Preservation
The John & Selene Devaney Foundation
The Office of County Commissioner Carlos Gimenez

1993 Engineering Study of Marine Stadium
This report on the Stadium was done by the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company in 1993 after Hurricane Andrew. The report showed that the Stadium could have been repaired for a cost estimated between $2-3 milion and the Stadium was not damaged during Hurricane Andrew (page 40). Unfortunately, the City did not act on the results of this study.
