Friends of Marine Stadium has now begun working with the City of Miami to secure funding. The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) Commission, an independent taxing district, has approved $150,000 for a design, analysis and permit study for the sea wall and seaside pilings of the Marine Stadium.
