MIAMI SHORES, Fla. (January 21, 2020) —
In another series of ‘firsts,’ Inter Miami CF held its historical first training session yesterday at Barry University in Miami Shores, Florida. A new season had begun. The very first one, and one which for fans must have seemed like a day they never thought would arrive.
This came 1811 days after February 5, 2014, the day that David Beckham announced to the crowd gathered at the Pérez Art Museum that he would bring an MLS franchise to Miami.
Or 4 years, 11 months, 16 days. Or 59 months, 16 days, including the end date. In other words, a fairly long time.
