About This Episode

Miami Marine Stadium was once one of the most beloved venues in the city — and Don Worth believes it can be again. In this episode he breaks down the rich history behind the stadium, the incredible concerts and boat races it once hosted, and his vision for turning it into a restored, accessible, and thriving part of Miami's waterfront once again.

He covers the feasibility studies, potential hospitality development around the site, why the stadium needs to stay open to everyone, its unique status as a green stadium, and why the timing has never been better for restoration. Plus stories from the stadium's past and what voters need to know before making their decision.

City of Miami residents can vote on restoring Marine Stadium on August 18th. Learn more at restoremarinestadium.org.
