David Beckham recently unveiled his design for this player-funded sports stadium that will be located in Miami, Florida.
The Miami Seafront Stadium will contain 25,000 seats for Miami's new Major League Soccer team that he owns. Situated on the Miami waterfront, this state-of-the-art facility was designed by Arquitectonica and 360 Architecture. The stadium is positioned in a way that enables fans to have a gorgeous view of downtown Miami skyline in the backdrop.
The bowl-shaped stadium will sit on 14.5 hectares of the Port of Miami, which is home to world's busiest cruise ship terminal. A series of accompanying facilities such as shops, a nightclub, restaurants, an outdoor screening venue and even a possible football museum may be included.
"When people think of Miami, they immediately think about being near or on the water. I asked my team to develop ideas for a stadium that embraces the best of the destination," said Beckham in a statement, and he delivers that vision for the fans.
