The derelict Miami Marine Stadium was on the cover of GQ magazine this month, showing football star and Taylor Swift fiance Travis Kelce soaring over the water in a jet pack. In the background of the shoot, the graffiti from decades of abandonment loom large.
But Marine Stadium might not be abandoned for much longer.
The City of Miami has called a special commission meeting next Thursday to address the future of the waterside venue that that has been abandoned and unused by the city since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.
The commission will consider putting an item on this November’s ballot asking residents whether to approve a contract for the private company Global Spectrum L.P to manage and operate the facility.
But details of the proposed contract have not been released by the city yet.
