I guess the deal is it would take commitment for the whole area like a few places have done like Baltimore's and Boston's Inner Harbors or like Portland Maine's Old Port waterfront (just 3 I happen to know off hand). You should have saw those dumps before they redid them. Now they are tourist traps. They have a great historical focal point (the stadium) to start something like the others have done but .... Use the stadium for concerts and such like they did before. Hell if Bangor Maine can have a summer concert series (and a damn good one) from April to Oct, outside, river front, where an August night can be in the 50's I cant see why they couldn't book an attractive season in Florida at a place that holds like 6500 or something. That's a perfect mid-size venue. Baltimore's Pier 6 Pavilion only hold 4000 and they have done very well. The naming rights would bring in millions alone. Screw the giant marina. Make it open grass (future use) so it attractive and surround it with restaurants, sports bars, night clubs, Hardrock, etc, etc, tourist crap. Bring a tall ship to the stadium, fireworks on the 4th, maybe even a few boat races. It could be done but like normal there is to many fingers in the pie. If they turned it all over to an old school developer 5 years from now you would see Miami Marine Waterfront an Stadium ready for business.

It wont just be for boats guys. From what I have read they would have some sort of barge/stage and it would become a multi use facility. Think more along the lines of an amphitheater and concert venue.

----Anybody that's been to the Saint Clair races will tell you that the barge idea works. Its on a slightly smaller scale but easy to see the possibilities. I know that the old stadium grandstands were sort of iconic but why would they have to be duplicated? Much cheaper grandstands could be erected!!!........Bill S

Look at a map.....it is a small place, very little parking and water on 2 sides and a roadway passing through. It was built in 1963, lots of changes in the last 50+ years. Handicap access, handicap parking, handicap bathrooms alone would doom the current facility-layout. Nevermind the newer hurricane building codes/requirements.

What if they put in a handfull of stripper bars to generate coin when there's no races

Won't work, EPA says the "stripper glitter" will clog manatee pores
