The Melreese MLS stadium could be just what the City of Miami taxpayers need!

Melreese is not a revenue generator for the city. With a $3.5 million budget in the current fiscal year, city administrators expect the golf course to break even.

Is MLS moving to the City of Miami

Miami City Manager Emilio González floated another option for Miami’s MLS soccer stadium rather than Overtown, the Miami Herald reports

David Beckham’s partner Jorge Mas met with González about the city-owned Melreese golf course, which could have more room for Mas’s ambition plans involving retail, a soccer academy, and more.

Mayor Francis Suarez said that Melreese could be an answer to where to put the stadium in light of Overtown residents’ apprehension.

“I’ve expressed a lot of concern over the last few months about the Overtown site, based on resident concerns in Spring Garden and Overtown,” Suarez told the paper. “The pushback definitely was a concern.”
