MIAMI (AP) — David Beckham is a big step closer to bringing Major League Soccer back to Miami.
More than four years after he started scouting potential homes for a team, Beckham will soon have the piece of land he needs. Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved a deal Tuesday to sell three acres of county land to Beckham’s group, the last part of what is a nine-acre plot on which a 25,000-seat stadium is planned.
Beckham’s group will pay just over $9 million for the last piece of land. It has already paid $19 million for the other six acres needed.
