MLS: David Beckham’s Miami expansion stadium spices up mid-term elections
It’s been five years and the David Beckham stadium deal has become a mid-term election issue for the Miami MLS expansion team.
Miami mid-term election voters will decide just where the stadium goes for the David Beckham MLS team, Miami FC. It’s not a matter completely lacking in controversy.
The proposal would approve Beckham’s group building the stadium on Miami’s only municipal golf course near their airport. The proposal goes further, though, asking voters to waive a public-bidding law.
That part of the measure opens the gates for the Beckham group to have free reign in building a complex along with the stadium, to be called Miami Freedom Park.
