World Monuments Fund
The Marine Stadium has been named to the World Monuments Fund 2010 Watch List!
World Monuments Fund (website, wmf.org) is the foremost organization dedicated to the preservation of significant architectural and cultural heritage sites worldwide. Every two years, they publish a list of significant sites that are considered to be endangered. The Marine Stadium made the list, which includes sites such as New Gourna Village in Luxor, Egypt, the Desert Castles of Ancient Khorzim in Uzbekistan, Taliesen and Taliesen West (Frank Lloyd Wright), the Historic City Center of Buenos Aires, and Antonio's Gaudi's Temple Expiatori De La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Inclusion in this list brings the Marine Stadium extraordinary international recognition and it also continues and expands our involvement with the World Monuments Fund. In October, 2008, we received a letter of endorsement from the Fund. And in June, 2009, the World Monuments Fund helped finance and organize an independent engineering study of the Marine Stadium. The field work for the study was completed last week and we hope to have the results in the next several months
