Traffic flow during game days at the 25,000-seat Miami Freedom Park soccer stadium will prove challenging. Traffic engineers believe careful planning could prevent drivers' headaches, according to a study commissioned by David Beckham and his group of investors. Traffic engineers believe the ideal times for the Saturday game day arrival are from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the departure period from 9:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. If the project goes forward, Gimenez said Miami-Dade County will also be conducting a traffic report.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez told Local 10 News reporter Glenna Milberg that he signed a non-binding letter of intent with Miami Beckham United to negotiate the purchase of land owned by the county. The mayor said Beckham's group would pay fair-market value for the property, which is managed by the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department. Because the stadium would be privately owned, Beckham's group would be responsible for paying annual property taxes. However, property owners on the site were reluctant to offer what the Beckham group believed was a fair price for their land. "It is also further confirmation that Miami Beckham United wants its franchise to be in our community," Gimenez said.
