In Explosive Fire Where David Beckham Wants To Put Soccer Stadium
Fire crews responded late Tuesday night to
reports of raging fires at Melreese Country Club,
the potential site for David Beckham’s future
soccer stadium.
A 911 call came in around 10:30 p.m. reporting a
“large body of fire” near the Melreese golf club-
house, said Capt. Ignatius Carroll of Miami Fire
Rescue. When crews arrived, they found ”36 to 40
golf carts engulfed in flames,’’ he added.
30
to the pro shop, Carroll said. No one was injured,
he said.
Last Wednesday, Beckham’s ownership group, af-
ter a five-year battle to get a Major League Soccer
stadium built in Miami, persuaded the Miami City
Commission to put on the November ballot the
question of whether Melreese should be devel-
oped as a soccer and retail complex.
The burned-out carts were visible from 37th
Avenue late Tuesday, about 50 yards from the
street. Rows of metal pieces left from the frame
of the golf carts were seen just a few feet away
from another group of parked carts that were not
damaged. The issue has been contentious with critics de-
crying developing 131 acres of public land for a
for-profit private project. Supporters contend the
project will bring professional soccer to Miami
and economic development to the Grapeland
neighborhood around Miami International Air-
port.
Firefighters were able to contain the blaze to the
parking lot area and prevented it from spreading Carroll said Fire Rescue is investigating the
cause of the fire.
