Miami Marine Stadium
Cuban-born architect Hilario Candela designed the cantilevered concrete grandstand, the first stadium built for powerboat racing in the US. It was declared unsafe after Hurricane Andrew in 1992 and has been covered in graffiti since. Today: Abandoned and fenced since 1992; voters approved an operator deal for its restoration in August 2026, with no reopening date.
