MIAMI (AP) -- David Beckham and the University of Miami are discussing a possible partnership for a new stadium for both Major League Soccer and college football.
Beckham was in town for a meeting Friday, and outgoing University of Miami president Donna Shalala has been involved in discussions this week. Among the locations being considering is a site near the old Orange Bowl, which has been torn down, next to Marlins Park.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez said he likes the idea of a partnership.
The university declined to comment. Beckham's group plans to choose a site in the next few weeks and wants to move quickly after that, an aide to the mayor said.
