Details of secret Beckham stadium plan emerge: hotel, shops, offices, new park
A large no-bid deal is on the horizon in Miami, though you might've heard of this one before.
In November, Miami voters could agree to let the city lease more than half of its only city-owned golf course to David Beckham and his partners to build a privately owned soccer complex with a 28,000-seat stadium, one million square feet of tech-related office space and 500 to 800 hotel rooms.
Beckham and his partners, which include local business giants Jorge and Jose Mas, want to turn Melreese golf course into a 73-acre soccer, commercial and hotel complex and a 58-acre park. All would be privately funded under the terms of a 39-year lease, which could be extended to 99 years. The city would receive annual rent of about $4 million to $5 million, and the owners would pay taxes on the rezoned park land, which does not currently contribute to the tax rolls.

FYI Miami: July 5, 2018
SOCCER STADIUM PROPOSAL: David Beckham’s group is expected to present its plan next week for a soccer stadium on City of Miami property that today is home to Melreese Golf Course near Miami International Airport. A representative requested a time certain of 2 p.m. July 12 during the next regular city commission meeting. Chair Keon Hardemon OK’d the request, though Commissioner Joe Carollo is gunning for a special meeting to debate the proposal. “I don’t want to be here until 2 in the morning,” he told fellow commissioners at the June 28 meeting. Mr. Carollo said two outstanding matters – the soccer stadium and contract negotiations for the next Ultra music festival – will take many hours to resolve. Mayor Francis Suarez suggested he and Mr. Carollo discuss the possibility of a special meeting. The commission has two regular meetings in July, and typically is in recess each August.

USL's Week Ahead - Conference Leaders Face Important Road Tests
Real Monarchs head to face Reno, Sacramento; Cincinnati visits Nashville at Nissan Stadium
Tampa Bay Rowdies vs. Toronto FC II
Al Lang Stadium, St. Petersburg, Florida | 7 p.m. ET
The Tampa Bay Rowdies (5-6-4, 19pts) kick off a big week at home with their traditional Fourth of July contest that sees Toronto FC II (0-13-3, 3pts) visit Al Lang Stadium. The Rowdies rallied to claim a point in their last outing, as former PDL standout Dominic Oduro marked his debut for the club with a 90th-minute equalizer in a 2-2 draw on the road against the Charlotte Independence. Sitting 11th in the Eastern Conference, Tampa Bay will want to claim all three points against Toronto, which it defeated 4-2 at BMO Field when the sides met on May 26.

Detroit officials redevelop plans for MLS at Ford Field bid
Detroit — The bidders hoping to bring Major League Soccer to Ford Field say they can produce a soccer experience like the best venues in the league, and even in the major European leagues.
MLS remains interested.
It is actively pursuing the best possible use of the indoor NFL stadium for soccer, according to the bidders and the league.
As the expansion process continues, with the top professional soccer league in North America looking for two additional cities, Detroit remains in the mix. The disappointment of Nashville and Cincinnati receiving MLS franchises over the past year is apparently little discouragement.
“I think MLS has now accepted the fact that Ford Field is the right place,” said Arn Tellem, vice chairman of the Pistons, who has been charged by owner Tom Gores with coordinating the bid in Detroit.
“We’re continuing our discussions with them.
“They view Detroit favorably and our application favorably, and we’re just going to continue to answer some of the questions that they have.”
“It’s been ongoing, the process.”
