Day Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 David Beckham's hopes of launching a Major League Soccer franchise in Miami took a giant step towards becoming reality Tuesday after city officials approved the sale of land crucial to a proposed stadium project. Miami-Dade County commissioners voted by 9-4 to approve the transfer of a three-acre parcel of land worth $9 million to Beckham's consortium, which reportedly hopes to launch its MLS team by 2021. Beckham's group had already purchased six acres of land next to the site for some $19 million in Miami's Overtown district. "We look forward to working with the Miami community to bring our vision for the neighborhood to life," Miami Beckham United said in a statement, describing the deal as a "major milestone" towards its MLS team. "Our loyal fans in Miami and around the world have been waiting for this moment for years, and we're thrilled that we're getting closer to our kick-off."

And it was either Miami or Alaska. If you want to find a rod to hit him with, find a different one, there are plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's barely news but since its filling some airwaves it piqued about 30 seconds of interest. Happy to lapse back into total indifference. It's all a long way away.

That's not the reason at all, they are setting it up in Miami because of the massive potential.....it is a "sporting city" and there are millions of soccerball loving South and Central Americans living there. actually one of the biggest complaints they have had about it is that there are already 4 or 5 "big" clubs in Florida.
