Inspired by Oriol (solapi)I decided to jump the fence and shot some pics in this abandoned stadium.
The 6,566 seat stadium was built in 1963 on land donated for "water sports," and designed by architect Hilario Candela. A speed boat racer, James Tapp, was killed on opening day. The venue, located just south of Downtown Miami, was revered for its scenic views of Downtown and Miami Beach, hosting motorboat events, and events featuring the likes of Mitch Miller, Sammy Davis, Jr., and U.S. President Richard Nixon (whose seasonal winter residence, dubbed "the Florida White House," was on nearby Key Biscayne).
From its opening for nearly 30 years, the stadium was used for its intended "water sports" as well as concerts, sporting events such as boxing, which began in 1972. In the wake of Hurricane Andrew, it was declared an unsafe building under Miami-Dade County building code on September 18, 1992.

Do not follow the ways of Oriol my man In polite society what he does is called breaking and entering and the guys in blue tend to take rather a dim view of it

Excelente, la luz hace que los grafitis parezcan estar pintados con pintura fluorescente.
