Key Biscayne
Key Biscayne is looking to stop a Duran Duran concert on April 1 following the Miami Open Tennis Tournament, according to the Miami Herald.
Key Biscayne does not want the village to become a venue for concerts and is also looking to stop a $50 million expansion of the Tennis Center. Officials fear increasing traffic, especially with the International Miami Boat Show now held at Miami Marine Stadium.
A year ago, the City of Miami gave approval for the Miami International Boat Show to hold their event at the Miami Marine Stadium. With the Boat Show slated for February, workers are prepping for the event at the Miami Marine Stadium on Virginia Key. Floating docks are being installed in front of the stadium while more than 1,000 pilings are being placed in the water of the basin. Tents have been erected on the grounds of the stadium on what used to be the parking lot.
