David Beckham finally formally announced what we all knew: he’s bringing an MLS team to the city, with the condition that he find a location to build a stadium. Besides noting that the team would start play in either 2016 or 2017, we didn’t get any more details.
A name? Nope, not mentioned.
Colors? Of course not.
A hint to where that stadium might be? Only if you consider that the place the announcement was made, the Perez Art Museum, happens to have a nice view of PortMiami, which is rumored to be a possible site.
