Miami Marine Stadium Update - A great year for the Stadium!

As the year comes to an end, here is the latest from the Friends of Marine Stadium: Village Green Man Friends of Marine Stadium Logo Contest Logo Contest We had 34 entries in our contest to design a logo for Friends of Marine Stadium. Because of the number of intriguing entries, this has been a very difficult decision for our panel of judges! After much deliberation, the winner is Alejandra Marquez. Alejandra's winning entry can be seen by clicking here . We are delighted with it. And we thank all the graphic artists for participating in our contest and being involved in the Marine Stadium effort. We will leave up all of the entries on our website.
