Miami Stadium was a baseball stadium in Miami, Florida. It was primarily used for baseball, and was the home field of the Miami Marlins minor league baseball team. It opened in 1949 and held 13,500 people. It was also used as the Spring Training home of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers from 1950-1958 (for most of their "A" games). Then, it was used during the spring by the Baltimore Orioles from 1959-1990. It was demolished in 2001. A large apartment complex (called The Miami Stadium Apartments) now stands where the stadium was. The stadium was located at Northwest 10th Avenue and 23rd Street.

A documentary, White Elephant: What Is There To Save?, was produced in 2007 about the stadium's history. [1]
