Inter Miami delays move to new stadium to 2026

Jul 30, 2024, 06:28 PM ET

Inter Miami CF will continue to play at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, through the 2025 Major League Soccer season, now targeting 2026 as the debut year for new venue Miami Freedom Park.

The club previously stated the new stadium would be ready in time for the 2025 campaign, but confirmed Tuesday in emails to fans regarding season-ticket membership renewal and waitlist that the upcoming year would be the “final season” in Fort Lauderdale.

“The 2025 Season is expected to be our FINAL season here at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale before moving to the new stadium in Miami,” the message said. “We Look forward to having you sign and cheering along as we continue our playoff push!

Inter Miami will provide season ticket holders who choose to renew the membership “priority access to the inaugural season at Miami Freedom Park.”

Some fans expressed displeasure over a second price increase to season tickets since the arrival of Argentine star Lionel Messi in the summer of 2023, and the delay of the new stadium.

“2025 was widely advertised as the year the team would move to Miami Freedom Park and has been used as a “benefit” of season tickets since the inaugural year – “first in line” for Miami Freedom Park tickets,” Morgan Guigon, Inter Miami season ticket holder since 2020 who is choosing not to renew his membership this year, told ESPN.

“I’m choosing not to renew this year after over a 150% increase in ticket prices in the past 2 years and since the arrival of Messi … it’s cheaper to buy tickets on the resale market match by match than it is to buy season tickets directly from the club.”

Added another fan on X: “Messi has missed more than half of Inter Miami’s matches this season. The value of tickets drops by over 85% in matches he misses. Inter Miami logic: let’s raise prices again for no reason whatsoever.”

Prices vary depending on the location of seating.

With 2026 as a target for moving to Miami Freedom Park, Messi may now not feature in the new stadium. His original contract with the MLS club expires at the end of 2025, and it remains unclear whether he will extend his time in South Florida.

Construction on the 25,000-seat Miami Freedom Park began in August 2023, with Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas saying at the time that they were targeting a 2025 opening.

“I can’t wait to welcome our fans to our state-of-the-art stadium and hear the chants as Messi and your Inter Miami players take the pitch for the first time in 2025,” he said in a team statement.

In an interview with reporters at the same time, Mas added: “We’re going to be fast tracking everything, targeting having the stadium ready at some point in the summer or early fall of 2025.”

After missing the playoffs last season, Miami currently tops the MLS Supporters’ Shied standings after 25 games.

Ole Miss S Nick Cull’s targeting call reversed vs Miami in Peach Bowl

Mississippi football’s Nick Cull avoided an ejection during the College Football Playoff Fiesta Bowl semifinal on Thursday, Jan. 8.

As Malachi Toney reeled in a catch from Carson Beck at the Miami 49 in the first quarter, he was hit by Cull in a helmet-to-helmet collision. Right away, the officials flagged Cull for targeting, with both Toney and Cull staying down on the field with an injury.

After officials reviewed the play, the call on the field was overturned, as the officials determined that Cull did not launch and the collision seemed to be incidental. Replay assistant Matt Austin concurred with the call on the field.

The play had a major impact on the game as well. If the call had been upheld, Miami would have had the ball at the Ole Miss 34-yard line with a chance to expand its 3-0 lead. However, a few plays later, the Hurricanes were forced to punt from the 49-yard line.

On the first play of the second quarter, Ole Miss running back Kewan Lacey scored on a 73-yard run to give the Rebels a 7-3 lead.

Because he was not called for targeting, Cull was not ejected from the game, which means Ole Miss will have him for the remainder of the game, if he can clear the concussion protocol. He was in the tent following the play.

Cull has 15 total tackles and three pass deflections this season for the Rebels.

Meanwhile, Toney went to the medical tent briefly for the Hurricanes, but returned to the game.

Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the forced turnovers: “That is and has to be our identity. We have to play with a recklessness and activity level that exceeds our opponent, and thats not to put down our talent level or anything like that, it’s more about we look different when we’re flying around and making plays and making it tough for the opponent.”
