There were some memorable concerts at Marine Stadium. There was a near-riot during a Lynard Skynrd concert in the 1970's. The city put a stop to concerts at the stadium for a long time afterwards.
I produced a concert there with Gato Barbieri and the Wave in 1989. It was a gas. The stadium was the most scenic and atmospheric venue in the city's history!
Back in the early 1990's I had the honor of being the MC at a series of Jazz Concerts at the MMS sponsored by the local CBS TV station. The bands were on a barge floating in the water, the stadium was packed, the spectacular skyline was in the distance, the music was intoxicating, and the evening was nothing less than magical. We need to bring back the stadium AND we need to fill it with incredible events--its a one of kind venue--let's not lose it.
I will never forget being part of the Florida International University Rowing Club and being allowed to condition our bodies by walking up and down the stairs of The Miami Marine Stadium. It is such a beautiful place to be. The ambience is magnificent. This is a spot that must be treasured, renovated, and treasured for years to come. I pledge my support and assistance because I know this is something that will make a difference in Miami. Join our wonderous cause, today!
