The David Beckham MLS group is exhausting all possibilities in their campaign to bring MLS to Miami, because another opportunity to provide the sports world with pictures of stadiums that are mostly empty is exactly what South Florida needs.
According to Douglas Hanks and Martin Vassolo of the Miami Herald, the group presented plans for a 25,000-seat open-air stadium in the Overtown district last Wednesday at a town hall meeting.
There is tremendous desperation and urgency to the situation for the Beckham group, which includes Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Todd Boehly. That urgency was best demonstrated in a comment from Miami-Dade county mayor Carlos Gimenez.
