This article by Friends of Marine Stadium Co-Founders Don and Nina Worth discusses potential uses for the Marine Stadium. Since the article has been written, Friends of Marine Stadium has continued to explore these issues, including discussions with groups that we believe could effectively manage the Marine Stadium. We are very confident that we can develop a successful operating plan.

This beautiful article in Propeller Magazine, a publication for power boat enthusiasts, was actually written in January, 2008, before the formation of Friends of Marine Stadium.

Since we have formed our group, we have come in contact with many power boat racing fans-and drivers-who fondly recall the Stadium, which is undoubtedly the finest boat racing venue in the United States.

If we bring the Stadium back, it will be done with a very unusual coalition-architecture buffs and preservationists, dragon boaters, scullers, wakeboarders, triathletes and other active water sport participants, boat racers and fans, environmentalists, any one who has seen a concert at the Stadium....and Parrotheads (Jimmy Buffett fans!).

Mayor Regalodo promises revitalization of the Marine Stadium in his swearing in speech. For a long time, the Mayor has been a strong proponent of the Marine Stadium. He has been to numerous meetings of Friends of Marine Stadium and, in fact, he was active in protecting the Stadium even before Friends of Marine Stadium was formed.

We are delighted with Mayor Regalado's leadership on the Marine Stadium and we look forward to working with him!
