Mattingly.TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- David Beckham brought his international star
power to the halls of the Florida Capitol on Tuesday, trying to rally support
from the governor and legislators for the Major League Soccer franchise he plans
to bring to Miami later this decade. Beckham was mobbed by legislators and
legislative aides during his visit as they took to social media to document his
visit. Even Gov. Rick Scott took a "selfie" of himself with Beckham. Beckham
made no secret that he wants to tap into state subsidies like most of the states
other professional teams have done. The Florida Legislature is advancing a bill
this year that would create a process that lets pro sports teams compete for a
share of state tax dollars in the future. "No ones promised me anything,"
Beckham said about his brief visit. "But they promised me that they support
having the team in Miami and are excited about that. Its good that they havent
promised me anything, because then I know its going to be fair and the decision
will be down to what they think is best for the state." The 38-year-old former
England captain said he had never previously visited Tallahassee which has a
much more Old South feel than cosmopolitan Miami. "Its going to sound silly and
people are probably going to laugh at me but I love the moss on the trees,"
Beckham. "Ive only seen it in scary movies. Ive never seen it close up."
Beckhams visit to the Capitol came a day after his architects and advisers
recommended the Port of Miami as the stadium site for his team. The plan
annnounced Monday would have an open-air stadium with views of the bay and the
downtown skyline.
Cesar Azpilicueta Jersey. . The capacity could be as low as 21,000 or as high as 35,000. He was escorted around the
Capitol by high-powered lobbyist Brian Ballard, who has been a major fundraiser
for Republicans. Under the proposed bill, pro teams could qualify for as much as
$2 million a year depending on how much the team invests in the project. A
similar bill was considered last year, but it was never considered by the
Florida House because initially it included help for the Miami Dolphins. Scott
said on Tuesday he can support a sports incentives bill as long as it has
safeguards to ensure a return on investment, including a provision to pay back
the state if the pro team doesnt generate as much money as anticipated. "Its
exciting he wants to invest in Florida," said Scott about his meeting with
Beckham. A spokesman for House Speaker Will Weatherford called the meeting
"informational" and said the speaker stressed his support for a bill that would
create a process to guide future professional team subsidies. Sen. Andy
Gardiner, R-Orlando and in line to become the next Senate president, said he and
Beckham primarily discussed Orlandos Major League Soccer franchise that is
expected to start playing next year. Beckham said hes confident that Florida can
support two franchises especially since the league is "stable" now. The league
previously had two teams in the state. "I think at the end of the day we want a
rivalry," Beckham said.
