Beckham's Charm Offensive To Bring Soccer To Miami

HECTOR GABINO
/
EL NUEVO HERALD

International soccer star David Beckham says the only thing keeping pro soccer from Miami is a stadium. That is indeed a challenge. While Beckham has said he doesn’t want “public funding,” his group hashired a Tallahassee lobbyist to pursue to a sales-tax subsidy, and it’s unclear if he’ll pay market rate for any public site.  

Host Tom Hudson speaks with a panel of the area's top journalists including Jim Berry of CBS4, Marc Caputo of the Miami Herald, Michael Mayo of the Sun Sentinel, and Sammy Mack and Wilson Sayre of WLRN-Miami Herald News.
