Beckham acquires Miami stadium site
After two years of frustration and failure,retired English star David Beckham's Major League Soccer expansion group announced on Friday it has secured a stadium development site north- west of downtown Miami. Miami Beckham United has a contract to buy the property in Overtown, near a major interstate highway and the Miami River, and the final crucial roadblock appears to have been overcome in return ing top-level football to the region. "We intend to create an assem blage of private and County-con- trolled land totalling approxi mately nine acres in Miami's urban core, within walking distance of multiple public transit options and the up-and-coming Miami River District" Beckham's group said in a statement. "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 pending approval of our site by the MLS Board of Governors" Beckham's group originally targeted two possible stadium waterfront venues, but both were non-starters with the city. The city pushed a stadium site near the home ballpark of base- Miami Marlins but that fell through when Beckham's group could not buy the necessary land because some owners would not sell.
