David Beckham looks to be "on the verge of acquiring enough Miami real estate" to build an MLS stadium. Miami-Dade County commissioners today are being "asked to ratify a recommendation by the mayor to sell" the group three acres of land to complete a "nine-acre stadium site near the Miami River in Overtown." Beckham still "needs zoning approval from Miami to build the 25,000-seat, privately funded venue." But winning county permission for the $9M land transaction would move Beckham "closer than ever to succeeding in a stadium quest that officially began" in '13 ( MIAMI HERALD, 6/6 ).
