Here's more evidence that there will be a strong demand for the Marine Stadium by concert promoters. It is ironic that although some have considered the Stadium a "white elephant", we have been told repeatedly by promoters that changing economic realities in the entertainment industry are now perfectly attuned to the Marine Stadium. With 6,500 seats, the Stadium is a mid-sized arena, the most desirable size. 1,000-2,000 seat venues are too small; only a few artists can fill larger facilities (ie. 18,000 seat arenas).

Swim Miami is an example of another event that can be held at the Marine Stadium. It is an open water swim that has actually been held at the Stadium. Since 2005, the event has grown from 145 swimmers to 2,000 swimmers expected for 2010. The event is sponsored by Nike Swim, a Division of Perry Ellis and is evolving into a Festival. Open water swimming is one of the fastest growing Olympic sports and Swim Miami is one of the top twenty open water swimming events in the world.

Team Row, a Miami-based organization dedicated to the growth of the sport of rowing and its benefits throughout the community, is a member organization of USRowing, the sports national governing body, and a member of its Task Force on Affordability, Accessibility, and Diversity. The organization proposes to utilize the Marine Stadium as a venue to conduct community-based rowing programs during non-peak hours (Monday through Friday). Such use would not only serve the demand for sports opportunities and youth development in many of the Downtown/Little Havana/Coconut GRove neighborhoods, but will balso not interfere with weekend activity and events at the Stadium.
