Inter Miami open Nu Stadium for sneak preview ahead of Saturday’s inaugural match <\/p>\n
MIAMI \u2014 Inter Miami CF enters a new era this weekend, with its inaugural match at Nu Stadium set for Saturday evening. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s coming down to the wire with construction, as the facility remains a work-in-progress.<\/p>\n
Nu Stadium even received a glowing approval from Inter Miami President and Co-Owner David Beckham. <\/p>\n
He was on the pitch Thursday, checking out the real grass field and the 26,700-seat stadium for himself. <\/p>\n
Hundreds of fans are expected to get a sneak peek on Thursday too, invited to the site to walk the stadium, explore available sections, and lock in their seat for the season. <\/p>\n
Something else to be on the lookout for is the Leo Messi Stand. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s rare and unique in global sports for an athlete playing at his home stadium to have a stand named in his honor.<\/p>\n
A lot of time and money have been invested at Miami Freedom Park for Inter Miami fans, as an estimated $1 billion through private funding and three years of construction are finally coming to fruition, but it\u2019s still not completely finished. <\/p>\n
The broader Miami Freedom Park project will eventually include hotel rooms, commercial and office space, and the largest public park in Miami, covering more than 58 acres.<\/p>\n
Opening night at Nu Stadium is set for Saturday night when Inter Miami hosts Austin FC. <\/p>\n
