The Miami Marine Stadium, a landmark of midcentury Brutalist design distinguished by its sweeping cantilevered roof and views of the city skyline, opened in 1963 as the nation’s only venue built specifically for powerboat racing.
Designed by a young Cuban refugee, the historic structure famously served as the backdrop for Elvis Presley’s 1967 movie Clambake and hosted memorable performances on its floating stage by artists including Gloria Estefan and the late Jimmy Buffett.
