Despite the success of El Clasico Miami, yet another delay has hit David Beckham and Miami's future MLS stadium which has been proposed in Overtown. Bruce Matheson has filed a lawsuit against Miami-Dade County, challenging the future use of the land on the basis of its acquisition. Matheson's suit aims to stop a $9 million sale of 3 acres as part of the assemblage, which was sold based on the state of Florida's Economic-Development Law as a no-bid sale and was never offered to other buyers. Bruce Matheson has previously blocked the expansion of the Miami Open on Key Biscayne and his antics have begun to frustrate city officials who allege that Matheson's goals seem to be to drive professional sports out of Miami. County commissioners originally approved the sale on June 6 and Beckham expects to receive league approval to officially launch Miami's franchise in August (2017).
