David Beckham and the city of Miami have come to an agreement to build at privately funded 25,000-seat, soccer-specific stadium adjacent to Marlins Park.
“Today’s meeting with Mayor Regalado was another positive step toward bringing a world class soccer club to Miami,” a spokesperson for Beckham Miami United—an investment group backing an MLS team for the city—said. “We’re still in the early planning stages and several viable options still exist, but our preferred stadium location is the former Orange Bowl site. David, Marcelo, and Simon are thrilled by the initial outpouring of support we’ve received from our fans and we’re excited about sharing our plans with the city, county, and community soon.”
Now talks can begin with Major League Soccer to determine a start date for the franchise.
