Miami marine stadium
The Miami Marine Stadium located on the Virginia Key in Miami, Florida, was the first purpose built stadium for powerboat racing in the United States. The 6,566 seat stadium was built in 1963 on land donated by the Matheson family for "Water Sports".
In 1992 Hurricane Andrew struck the Miami-Dade County area. Engineers for the City condemned the structure. Other independent engineers declared the structure sound although needing refurbishing. Since that time the Stadium has been allowed to sit with no attempt at maintenance. Vandalism has been great at the Stadium since the hurricane.
The stadium is a breeding ground now for many of Miami's graffiti artists. Almost every inch of the inner walls of the stadium display everything from amateur to expert pieces or throw-ups.
