Results of engineering study announced: Concrete restoration costs estimated to be between $5.5-8.5 million, depending upon how much additional preventive work is done to extend the life of the structure. This compares to a study done for the City of Miami which estimated the cost to be as high as $15 million. The estimates do not include other aspects of renovation (seats, bathrooms, railings, Handicapped accessiblitiy). Also, a follow on study is necessary to determine the condition of the piles.
The study was commissioned by the World Monuments Fund and was done by Simpson Gumpertz and Heger (SGH) a highly respected engineering firm which had actually analyzed the structure in 1993.

The Virginia Key Master Plan-which includes the Marine Stadium, is now scheduled to go to the City of MIami Commission on July 22 for approval. We will provide you with more information on upcoming meetings shortly. The plan has been developed with the cooperation of a student workshop at University of Miami School of Architecture (under the direction of Jorge Hernandez, Co-Founder of Friends of Marine Stadium and Hilario Candela, architect of the Stadium) and a coalition of groups lead by the Urban Environment League.
We recently met with Jack Meyer, the originial engineer of Miami Marirne Stadium. Jack has been very helpful to us and strongly supports efforts to restore the Marine Stadium. Thanks to superior engineering and workmanship, the Stadium is structurally sound and can be repaired. Jack's remarkable story of the creation of the Marine Stadium can be found on this website under "Articles and Press".
