Amphitheater: The soccer stadium would have an amphitheater for projecting games. This setup is reminiscent of the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, where people can watch concerts while stretched out on the lawn.

David Beckham and his soccer stadium group scraped together just enough Miami City Commission votes to get a referendum last year, and 60% of voters agreed to a no-bid lease for the Melreese public golf course.

After a year of sporadic controversy, the future of the proposed Miami Freedom Park is anything but clear. The City Commission is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a last-ditch effort pressed by an opposing commissioner before its composition changes.

Commissioner Manolo Reyes pushed for a vote on the lease before Commissioner Willy Gort, another project opponent, is replaced. Gort, whose district includes Melreese, is term limited but remains on the dais until a Nov. 19 runoff between Alex Diaz de la Portilla and Miguel Gabela.
