Glass Backwall Panels Arrive at the “New” Miami Jai alai

October 29, 2025:  A couple weeks ago, we showed you construction workers assembling the framing for the glass wall for the future home of Magic City.  Today, the glass panels arrived at Miami Casino Jai alai.  The glass panels – weighing 500 pounds each – were seen here with getting taking off the truck by three players – Benny, Ben and “my buddy” Roque – bringing them into the fronton.

Assembly will likely take a few days and then once that is completed, the next step will be to find the proper ball to play with on what will be a very unusual cancha.  The side and front walls are same ones that were used for 95 years with full a full court and a goat skin pelota in use.  The front wall is made from granite – one of the hardest of rocks on Earth.  Now, a glass back will be added near the serving line area, giving the court a unique structure of two completely different materials.     

We will keep you posted on as this project moves forward.
