Miami Marine Stadium was a legendary structure that used to host races, concerts and a series of other entertaining events—until Hurricane Andrew left the building devastated in 1992. Since that time, the abandoned building has become a haven for graffiti artists.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation set up a campaign on Indiegogo that's received tons of support so far, including backing from Heineken, which created an incredible stop-motion video of the artful stadium. The beer brand's involvement in the campaign ties into its 'Cities' campaign and invites the public to make Miami Marine Stadium a one-of-a-kind venue once more.
Beyond a video that's been shared to YouTube, Heineken also captured 360-degree views of the stadium that are available to see online in an interactive street view-style interface.
