Miami Commissioners Gave Beckham Their Blessing to Build a New Soccer Stadium
Retired soccer star David Beckham and Major League Soccer (MLS) took a step toward fielding a new Miami team as local officials on Tuesday unanimously approved on-going efforts to find a suitable stadium location. The football legend plans to develop his own 75,000 capacity complex, with a hotel and shops. The Mirror reported that the hope is the stadium will also be used for concerts.
The vote by Miami-Dade county commissioners was the first test of political support for Beckham's soccer venture in Miami. The decision gave county officials authority to identify stadium sites and negotiate construction contracts with developers. County officials say Beckham is interested in an urban setting near Miami's downtown, possibly on publicly owned land next to the port of Miami's cruise ship terminals, hoping the stadium would become part of Miami's tourism landscape.
Beckham’s group, known as Beckham Brand Limited, had been looking at the southwest section of the Biscayne Bay seaport Port Miami as well as other spots near Miami Beach and Downtown Miami. Beckham earlier this month registered as a Florida company under the name Miami Beckham United LLC and has hired HR&A Advisors, a New York-based development consulting firm, to examine possible stadium locations in Miami, along with Miami's top architecture firm, Arquitectonica. But why Miami? "Miami is something that really excites me because there is a great energy down there. They are ready for a football team in that part of the world,” stated the former English soccer captain.
