Jimmy Buffett, Gloria Estefan Discuss Miami Marine Stadium at Coral Gables Museum Event

Gloria and Emilio Estefan shared a stage with Jimmy Buffett for the first time Thursday night to perform his classic “Margaritaville.”

The musical first happened as Gloria Estefan and Buffett joined forces to back the iconic South Florida fixture that gave them voice: Miami Marine Stadium.

They came together for a conversation on the stadium’s legacy Thursday at the Coral Gables Museum – amid a renewed push to restore the venue on the water.

“This is going to be an amazing place for everyone that lives in this, not just in South Florida, but I think people around the world that are going to come to our little corner and really love this place,” Estefan told NBC 6.

The sold-out event was moderated by NBC 6 anchor Jackie Nespral and also included a silent auction featuring original stadium seats signed by Buffett and Estefan.
