The National Trust for Historic Preservation, in partnership with Heineken USA, the City of Miami and Indiegogo, have launched a crowdfunding campaign to propel the Miami Marine Stadium’s restoration to its next phase. 

The Indiegogo campaign can be found at igg.me/at/marinestadium. Heineken USA is investing marketing resources to promote the campaign and its #SaveYourSeat program will award select donors with actual seats that are being removed from the stadium to make way for renovation.

The Miami Marine Stadium was constructed in 1963 and is considered a monumental achievement in civic architecture and modern construction. Uniquely situated on the edge of Biscayne Bay, it hosted events ranging from high-speed boat races, to concerts featuring the biggest names in music. But since 1992, when Hurricane Andrew greatly affected Miami, the stadium has been abandoned, save for the graffiti artists who have transformed it into their canvas.

In addition to creating the Indiegogo campaign, Heineken is planning on-the-water events, retail activations and a concert that will help raise awareness of the Miami Marine Stadium project.
