Beckham’s Soccer Stadium in Conflict with Vision for World Trade Center Miami

Beckham’s Soccer Stadium in Conflict with Vision for World Trade Center Miami

No doubt there are a lot of contenders who want a piece of the action that the Port of Miami offers. Many different entrepreneurs are fighting to implement their vision in a place with such colossal potential. For the moment the only conclusion is that Port Miami’s World Trade Center vision crashes with Beckham soccer stadium dream.

David Beckham continued to share his excitement Thursday over plans to build a waterfront soccer stadium on Dodge Island’s southwest corner. His main allies were entertainment entrepreneur Simon Fuller, local billionaire Marcelo Claure and Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. The world’s second largest cruise company, Royal Caribbean Cruises shun on the plan.  

Port Miami Director and World Trade Center Miami chairman Bill Johnson recently promoted the World Trade Center Miami complex featuring a hotel, a convention center, retail space and a mega yachts’ marina but certainly not a stadium.In September, more than $700 million in debt downgraded the port’s credit rating. The port is in need of allies with deep pockets. Johnson wanted to find a developer to design, build, finance, maintain and operate the complex under a 75-year term. His recent trip to Asia was in part to gauge interest in World Trade Center Miami. 

One way or the other, the Port will benefit in either situation. If not in the Port, Beckham’s stadium will be built in an iconic location within the city and will attract thousand of local and international spectators. * Notes from Local 10 News & Miami Herald.
