In November, the City of Miami authorizes $175,000 to match the FIND Commission's grant for a design, analysis and permit study for the seaside pilings and seawall of the Marine Stadium. Friends of Miami Marine Stadium co-sponsors a contest with DawnTown, Miami AIA and National Trust For Historic Preservation to do an ideas contest to design a floating stage for the Marine Stadium. The Lynn and Louis Wolfson II Florida Moving Archives provides a remarkable historic footage of the construction completion ceremonies and opening night at the Marine Stadium. The Stadium continues to attract attention in various media.
