2 Beckham Bringing Major League Soccer to Miami

Miami has beaches, basketball, baseball, football, art, restaurants, night life, shopping, and so much more. Soon, Miami may be able to add professional soccer games to its long list of activities, courtesy of David Beckham. Given that Florida is about to become the third most populous state, with solid economic growth and an influx of retirees from the north and immigrants from Latin America, it seems like the perfect time for a new sports team to make its home in Miami. And, if anyone can make a soccer team succeed in Miami, it is David Beckham.

Although there is not a final decision on the location of the stadium, its construction is guaranteed to create jobs and boost South Florida’s economic opportunities. It is rumored that the stadium will be built on Dodge Island, which is conveniently nestled between Downtown Miami and South Beach. This location will make the already attractive Brickell and South Beach properties even more alluring. Plus, wherever the stadium is constructed, exciting new restaurants and bars will surely follow. These additions to the local scene will enhance the value of owning a condo in one of these coveted locations.

A sports team will have a substantial impact on the local economy because it creates jobs, pushes up wages, increases tax revenue, and causes residents and visitors to spend money in and around the stadium. This positive economic growth may even propel home values and spur Brickell and South Beach real estate development. There are a lot of exciting changes happening in Miami, and the introduction of a major league soccer team will further fuel the revitalization that Miami is undergoing. It may be too early to purchase season tickets for the soccer games, but it is the perfect time to invest in Miami real estate.
