Miami Stadium, later officially known as Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium, was a baseball stadium in Miami, Florida. It was primarily used as the home field of the Miami Marlins minor league baseball team, as well as other minor league teams. It opened in 1949 and held 13,500 people.

Key Information

View of the stadium in the 1950s

The stadium was located on the block bounded by Northwest 23rd Street (south – first base), Northwest 10th Avenue (west – third base), and Northwest 8th Avenue (east – right field), with an open area behind left field extending about a block north. A distinguishing feature of the ballpark was a high arched cantilever-type roof over the grandstand, in contrast to the typical styles of either flat and slightly sloping, or peaked like a house. This design enabled the ballpark to have a roof that covered most of the seating area without any posts blocking the spectators' view. Al López Field in Tampa employed a somewhat similar design with a less dramatic curve and less coverage.

It was the spring training home of the Brooklyn / Los Angeles Dodgers from 1950 to 1958 (for most of their "A" games). The Dodgers played their first game as the Los Angeles Dodgers at the ballpark when they opened their 1958 spring training schedule against the Phillies on March 8, 1958, in front of 5,966 fans.[1] It was used during the spring by the Baltimore Orioles from 1959 to 1990. At the time of its construction, Miami Stadium was remarkably modern and well-appointed, although in time it would be surpassed by later designs.

On June 6, 1958, Orioles president James Keelty Jr. reached agreement with Miami Marlins president George B. Storer to move the Orioles spring training home from Scottsdale, Arizona to Miami Stadium for the 1959 spring training season.[2] On May 25, 1990, the Orioles announced that the team would move their spring training home games from Miami Stadium to Bradenton and Sarasota in 1991. The Orioles had trained at Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota prior to spring games in 1989 and 1990.[3]

The Miami City Commission voted unanimously in favor of the renaming in February 1987, and the ceremony took place the following month. The ballpark became known officially as Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium in honor to the famous Cuban baseball entrepreneur Bobby Maduro. Said Maduro's widow Marta to herself, "Gordo (fat one), they finally know who you are."[citation needed]

The City of Miami had proposed razing the stadium and selling the property for warehouses. But a sale price of $1.6 million plus demolition cost of $725,000, scared away would-be developers. The City rezoned the property in 1998 for housing. St. Martin Affordable Housing Inc. purchased the 12.6-acre (51,000 m2) property from the City of Miami for $2.1 million in 1999 to raze the stadium and build a rental housing project.[4] A large apartment complex (called The Miami Stadium Apartments) now stands where the stadium was.

Estadio Quisqueya, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (inaugurated in 1955), is an almost exact replica of the stadium.[citation needed]

A PBS documentary, White Elephant: What Is There To Save?, was produced in 2007 about the stadium's history.[5]

In 2017, Abel Sanchez, a Miami native, created a GoFundMe page which raised $2,500 to get a historical marker for the site. The Florida Department of State's State Historical Marker Council reviewed and ultimately approved the application.[6]

Miami Stadium, later renamed Bobby Maduro Miami Stadium, was a prominent venue in Miami, Florida, that opened on August 31, 1949, and operated until its demolition in 2001. Built privately by entrepreneur José Alemán Sr. at a cost of $500,000, the stadium featured a distinctive cantilevered roof design and initially seated around 13,000 spectators. Located in the neighborhood at the corner of Northwest 10th Street and 23rd Avenue, it became a cornerstone of South Florida's sports scene, hosting games, , and diverse events like rock concerts and matches. The stadium served as the spring training home for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1950 to 1958 and the Baltimore Orioles from 1959 to 1990, drawing legendary players such as Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, and Mickey Mantle to its field. It was also the primary ballpark for several minor league teams, including the Miami Sun Sox (Florida International League, 1949–1954), the original Miami Marlins (International League, 1956–1960 and 1978–1988), the Miami Orioles (Florida State League, 1971–1981), and the short-lived Miami Amigos (Inter-American League, 1979).

Damaged by in 1992, the stadium saw declining use before its closure; the site was redeveloped into the Miami Stadium Apartments, a 336-unit complex, symbolizing the shift from sports heritage to community housing in Miami's evolving urban landscape.

History

Construction and opening

In the late 1940s, as Miami experienced a post-World War II population boom and growing interest in professional sports, Cuban exile and businessman José Aleman proposed constructing a dedicated baseball stadium to attract minor league teams and enhance the city's recreational offerings. The project was privately funded by Aleman, who secured approximately $500,000 through connections to the Cuban treasury, diverging from typical municipal financing models of the era. Construction began with a groundbreaking ceremony on December 12, 1948, on a 14-acre site previously used for circuses, and was designed by the Nashville-based architectural firm Marr & Holman, with Taylor Construction of serving as the builder. The structure, featuring for durability in Florida's climate, was completed in just eight months. The stadium officially opened on August 31, 1949, with an inaugural Florida International League game between the Sun Sox and the Havana Cubans, drawing a then-record crowd of 13,007 spectators. The dedication ceremony included remarks from Commissioner Albert "Happy" Chandler and local dignitaries, who praised the facility's role in elevating 's sports profile. The venue debuted with an initial of 13,500.

Early professional use

Following its opening in 1949, Miami Stadium quickly became a hub for professional in during the 1950s. The venue served as the home field for the Miami Sun Sox of the Class B International League from 1949 to 1954, with the team transitioning to the stadium full-time starting in 1950 after initial games at the older Miami Field. The Sun Sox were affiliated with the , drawing strong local support amid the league's competitive play in the region's warm climate. The Sun Sox achieved notable success early in the decade, finishing second in the regular season with a 98-55 record in 1950 before capturing the Florida International League championship in the playoffs. Attendance flourished, reflecting the stadium's appeal; in 1951 alone, the team attracted 128,107 fans across its home schedule, contributing to the league's overall turnout of more than 1.4 million spectators that year. Night games, enabled by the stadium's modern lighting system installed upon construction, were a key operational feature from the outset, allowing games to accommodate working fans and boosting evening crowds to an average of 1,500 to 2,000 per contest during the Sun Sox era. These evening matchups, combined with affordable tickets and family-friendly atmosphere, helped stimulate the local economy by increasing spending at nearby businesses and fostering community engagement in a growing postwar Miami. After the Florida International League folded midway through the 1954 season due to financial challenges, Miami Stadium hosted the Triple-A of the from to 1960, marking a step up in competitive level. Affiliated with the Phillies from to 1958 and the Baltimore Orioles thereafter, the Marlins provided high-caliber , serving as a developmental outpost for major league talent. The team's debut season highlighted integration milestones in Southern play, with 49-year-old Hall of Famer joining as the first prominent Black pitcher for a Miami-based professional team, though a sore arm kept him out of the April 18 home opener, which drew 8,806 spectators. This event, amid the broader push for in following Jackie Robinson's 1947 breakthrough, symbolized progress in , where segregated leagues had persisted; Paige's subsequent performances helped normalize integrated rosters in the region. The Marlins drew robust crowds, reaching 288,582 fans in —their inaugural year—averaging over 3,800 per game and underscoring the stadium's viability for higher-level . Beyond on-field action, the venue doubled as a spring training site for the and from 1950 to 1958, offering a proving ground for emerging stars like pitchers and , who honed their skills there during exhibition games and workouts. This dual role amplified the stadium's economic and cultural impact, drawing tourists, supporting local jobs in concessions and maintenance, and paving the way for major league expansion to by cultivating a dedicated fanbase.

International League era

The joined the Triple-A in 1956, bringing high-level to Miami Stadium for the first time and marking the start of the venue's most prominent professional era. Affiliated with the Phillies, the team finished third in the eight-team league with an 80-71 record, advancing to the playoffs before losing to the in the semifinals. The Marlins' debut season drew strong local interest, with total attendance reaching 288,582 fans across 151 home games, second-highest in the league and averaging about 3,822 per contest. This success was bolstered by promotional efforts, including the dramatic arrival of 49-year-old pitcher by helicopter on , April 18, 1956, before 8,806 spectators, though he did not pitch due to injury. Paige's tenure with the Marlins from 1956 to 1958 became a highlight of the era, as the Hall of Famer posted a 31-22 record with a 2.37 over three seasons, including an 11-4 mark and 1.86 in alone, where he appeared in 37 games with two shutouts and 13 saves. The team reached a minor league record crowd of 51,713 on , , for a charity exhibition against the Columbus Jets at the nearby Stadium, where Paige pitched effectively in a 6-2 victory. Affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles starting in 1959, the Marlins made another playoff appearance in 1957 but struggled overall, finishing no higher than fourth place in their final two years and seeing attendance decline to around 100,000 annually by 1960 due to competition from other sports and economic factors. The era unfolded against the backdrop of Cold War tensions and the Cuban Revolution, which directly impacted the International League through the Havana Sugar Kings, the Cincinnati Reds' affiliate and the league's lone international team. Miami Stadium hosted multiple series against the Sugar Kings, including matchups in 1956 featuring Paige versus Cuban star Connie Marrero before about 6,000 fans, and a near-perfect game by Paige on Labor Day 1957. As political instability escalated in Cuba, the Sugar Kings played their final home games there in early July 1960 before embarking on a road trip that included Miami; shortly after, on July 8, league president Frank Shaughnessy ordered the franchise's relocation to Jersey City, New Jersey, citing safety concerns amid U.S.-Cuba relations deteriorating toward the full trade embargo later that year. This event underscored the stadium's role in facilitating sports migration during geopolitical upheaval, as Miami's growing Cuban exile community embraced the games and Latin American talent like Marrero, who had defected earlier. The Marlins' own franchise folded after the 1960 season, with owner William B. MacDonald moving it to San Juan, Puerto Rico, as the San Juan Marlins in 1961 before it relocated again to Charleston, West Virginia; Triple-A baseball did not return to Miami Stadium until much later.

This FSL franchise, which rebranded as the Miami Orioles from 1971 to 1981 under full Baltimore affiliation, developed several notable players including future Cy Young Award winner Mike Flanagan and All-Star outfielder Ken Singleton during the 1970s. After the Orioles affiliation ended, the team reverted to the Miami Marlins name from 1982 to 1988: independent in 1982, affiliated with the San Diego Padres from 1983 to 1984, and independent again from 1985 to 1988.

This layout supported a total of around 13,500 upon opening, prioritizing spectator comfort in the humid through shaded overhangs provided by the cantilevered roof. A key structural innovation was the steel-framed cantilevered roof spanning the grandstand, which extended without interior support columns to ensure unobstructed sightlines for all seats—a rarity in stadium architecture. The roof's arched profile not only sheltered fans from rain and intense sun but also contributed to the stadium's tropical aesthetic, incorporating elements like integrated palm trees along the perimeter for natural ventilation and visual harmony with the surrounding landscape. The seating bowl itself was built using poured concrete, giving the venue a raw, industrial yet elegant appearance typical of . The field layout followed standard specifications. dimensions measured 330 feet along the left and right field lines and 400 feet to center field, accommodating a symmetrical playing surface covered in natural grass. Lighting was integrated from the outset via tall towers equipped with high-wattage reflectors, enabling night games and enhancing the venue's versatility for evening events. Accessibility in the original design relied on basic ramps leading to the levels, with minimal integrated concessions stands distributed along the to serve patrons efficiently without luxury amenities like boxes or suites, aligning with the era's emphasis on democratic public spaces.
