Beckham’s plan for Miami stadium

David Beckham’s proposed Miami MLS team will be playing in front of 25,000 fans in a hi-tech new stadium located on the city’s exclusive waterfront if the group behind the venture gets its way. On Monday, the Miami Beckham United group presented its breath-taking vision for an open-air, bowl-like stadium offering fans a stunning view of the Downtown Miami skyline, which it hopes to have completed in time for the 2018 MLS season.
