Miami Beckham United Receives MLS Blessing for His Proposed Overtown Soccer Stadium

Beckham Receives Approval for Overtown Soccer Stadium

 As expected, Beckham received the approval from the Board of Governors to build a soccer-specific stadium in the Overtown neighborhood. MLS commissioner Don Garber said on Saturday.  "Their vision for a world-class venue within the urban core that is accessible by mass transportation is impressive, and we believe it will be an important part of the continued revitalization of the area.  We look forward to working with David and his partners to finalize plans to bring Major League Soccer to Miami."

 Beckham announced via statement on Friday the site will be in Overtown, on 650 Northwest 8th Street, seven blocks east of Marlins Park and close to the Miami River. "Miami Beckham United has secured a stadium development site at 650 Northwest 8th Street in the City of Miami's historic Overtown neighborhood," the team said in a statement. "We intend to create an assemblage of private and County-controlled land totaling approximately 9 acres in Miami's urban core, within walking distance of multiple public transit options and the up-and-coming Miami River District. The private properties, which comprise the majority of the land, are under contract and we intend to purchase the County land at fair market value now that they have received approval by the MLS Board of Governors.

 "Construction of our venue will be privately financed and we will work with Miami-Dade County Public Schools to establish our club as an educational resource for the community. We will also engage nearby businesses and residents as we develop our stadium design and take steps to enhance the neighborhood."The Herald reports Beckham's group "plans to own the real estate and stadium itself, dropping past efforts for a government-owned stadium that would be shielded from property taxes."This comes a couple weeks after reports of the Little Havana site next to Marlins Park fell through in part due to private-property owners seeking "astronomical payments." *  Curbed Miami & Fox Sports.
