David Beckham team to reveal soccer stadium design for Miami boat slip site

One of David Beckham's chief investors and their representatives plan to make public Thursday preliminary designs of what a Major League Soccer stadium would look like if it were built on what is now a downtown Miami deep-water boat slip.
Billionaire Marcelo Claure and Beckham's real-estate adviser are expected to present the images at a noon news conference at the InterContinental Hotel on Biscayne Boulevard, down the street from the proposed stadium site.
The release of the drawings is intended to give the public an idea of how the structure could look if the water basin nestled between Museum Park and AmericanAirlines Arena were filled.

Already, proponents have circulated their own amateur designs of a possible stadium to drum up support. More troubling for Beckham's group, opponents have done the same thing, to show a stadium they consider out of place.
No one expects the drawings to resemble the relatively detailed renderings that Miami Beckham United had put together for the first stadium site the group eyed at PortMiami. Those designs, by renowned Miami firm Arquitectonica, and other analysis of the port location cost about $2 million, Beckham representatives have said.
