So you've got passes to an Inter Miami fixture in 2026. Maybe you're a die-hard MLS supporter who bleeds pink and black. Maybe you're flying in from halfway across the world just to see Messi do his thing on the pitch. Or maybe a friend texted you "I got an extra seat, you in?" and now you're scrambling to figure out what to expect.
Whatever your story is, here's what matters: the magic of an Inter Miami outing doesn't start at the first whistle. It starts hours before — out in the parking lots, at the Fan Zone, over a choripán from a woodfire grill, and in the electric hum of thousands of supporters gathering under the South Florida sky.
In 2026, the club plays home fixtures at the brand-new Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park near the international airport, which debuted on April 4, 2026, with a sparkling 26,700-seat capacity. This guide covers everything you need to know — from timelines and driving logistics to what's in your clear bag and which taco stand to hit first.
Let's make your day unforgettable.
Before the whistle: your timeline and the Fan Zone
Here's the single most important piece of advice you'll find in this entire guide, and it comes straight from people who've been to dozens of Inter Miami fixtures: arrive early. Seriously. Showing up 30 minutes before the first whistle is a recipe for stress, missed atmosphere, and a long line at the entrance. The experience before the action begins is genuinely worth your time.
At Nu Stadium, the rhythm of the day follows a clear pattern. Let's break it down so you know exactly what's available and when.
| Timeline (before the whistle) | What's happening |
|---|---|
| 3 hours before | Parking lots begin accepting cars; the Baptist Health Fan Zone opens with food trucks, activities, giveaways, and partner experiences; the box office (Ticket Office) opens in the Plaza |
| 90 minutes before | Gates open; all guest entrances are accessible; seating and premium areas available |
| At kickoff | The Fan Zone winds down — it's outside the stadium, and there's no re-entry once you're inside |
| 65th minute | No further admission permitted; box office closes (club entry policy) |
So, when should you arrive?
It depends on your vibe. Here's how we'd break it down:
- First-timers or families with kids: Arrive 2–3 hours early. You'll want to explore the Fan Zone, grab food, soak in the atmosphere, find your seats, and maybe catch players warming up on the pitch. Trust us — you won't be bored.
- Experienced attendees just there for the action: 60–90 minutes early is comfortable enough to grab a drink, browse the merch, and settle into your seat.
- Those using public transit to Nu Stadium: The train drops you off with time to spare. Use the extra minutes to explore the new grounds. You've earned it.
💡 Pro tip from regulars: For a 7:30 PM start, aim to arrive by 5:30–5:45 PM. Hit the Baptist Health Fan Zone first, grab food to bring to your seats, and be settled in time for warm-ups. This is the sweet spot. The parking lots are manageable, the lines are short, and the energy is already building.
The Baptist Health Fan Zone: don't skip this
If you've never been to a fixture here before, the Baptist Health Fan Zone might honestly surprise you. This isn't some afterthought with a sad folding table and a few branded banners. It's a full-blown party — and it begins a full three hours before the whistle.
Every Inter Miami supporter we talked to said the same thing: this space is the heart of what happens before play begins. It's where the energy starts. It's where kids run around kicking soccer balls, where you'll find the best food trucks on-site, and where you might walk away with free merch before you even scan your pass at the entrance.
What you'll find inside the Fan Zone
- Fútbol activities & challenges — soccer for kids, kicking target competitions, and tailgate-style fun. It's genuinely entertaining even if you're just watching.
- Giveaways & freebies — sponsors hand out free samples, branded merchandise, and sometimes free T-shirts. Yes, free. Just show up early.
- Food trucks & sampling — Argentinian asado from Mr. Chory (cooked on a woodfire grill right in front of you), Venezuelan arepas from Doggi's, crispy milanesa from Club de la Milanesa, and Cuban coffee with tequeños from the Café Bustelo Ventanita. The vendor lineup rotates each match, and the aromas alone are worth the early arrival.
- Merchandise containers — shop for gear before the crowds descend on the main store inside the venue.
- Partner activations — interactive photo booths, wellness areas, and branded experiences from sponsors like Royal Caribbean, Lowe's, Modelo, and Café Bustelo. Some of these are surprisingly elaborate.
- Live entertainment — DJs spinning sets, party collectives, and occasionally headline acts. The debut night at Nu Stadium featured Bresh, the famous Argentine party collective.
Tips to maximize your time here
- Check if activities require a wristband — look for a sign-up table before getting in line. Some fill up fast, and you don't want to wait 20 minutes only to find out you needed to register first.
- Bathrooms are available inside the space, so no need to hold it.
- Bring a clear bag (more on the policy below) with an extra Ziploc inside. You'll want it for stashing any freebies you collect — because there's no re-entry once you go inside the venue.
- At Nu Stadium, kids ages 5–14 can join "Icons in Training" — a free session led by Inter Miami Academy coaches at the Baptist Health Sports Fields. This is huge for young supporters.
- The space is available to season members and all ticketed guests. You just need a valid pass for that day.
Honestly, the Fan Zone alone is a reason to arrive early. Whether you're a solo attendee, a couple on a date night, or a family with three kids under ten, there's something here for everyone. It's the kind of experience that turns a regular outing into a full day out.
Getting there: driving, transit & rideshare
Let's be real: traffic is the single biggest headache on the day. Every veteran Inter Miami supporter will tell you that. The good news? If you plan your route in advance and arrive early, you'll be fine. The bad news? If you wing it, you might spend more time in your car than watching the action.
Nu Stadium (Freedom Park)
Driving & parking
This is critical: all vehicle passes must be purchased online ahead of time. There are absolutely no on-site sales. Show up without a pass, and you're not getting in. Buy yours through the official Inter Miami CF parking page, and use only the designated entrances:
- NW 37th Ave (Douglas Road)
- NW 42nd Ave (Le Jeune Rd.)
- NW 21st St (eastbound, accessed from NW 37th Ave)
Here's something nice though: parking lots at Nu Stadium begin accepting cars approximately 5 hours before the first whistle for big events. That means for a 7:30 PM fixture, you could arrive as early as 2:30 PM. That's a considerable amount of tailgating time if you're into that sort of thing.
⚠️ Important reminders for drivers:
- License plate enforcement is strict. If you park without a valid pass, your car will be towed. No warnings, no exceptions.
- Have your digital pass with QR code visible as you approach. Email confirmations are NOT accepted — only the actual QR code.
Public transportation (strongly recommended for Nu Stadium)
This is where Nu Stadium really shines. The new venue sits directly across from the Miami Intermodal Center, adjacent to the international airport. That means public transit isn't just a fallback option — it's genuinely the smartest way to get there.
🎁 Transit bonus: Supporters who use public transit (Tri-Rail, Metrorail, Metrobus, Trolley, or Broward County Transit) receive a $10 food & beverage credit at Nu Stadium. Just bring your transit receipt and your pass to the Guest Services booth situated outside Section 101. Free money for tacos? Yes please.
Here are all the transit options to reach Nu Stadium:
| Transit option | Key details |
|---|---|
| Metrorail | Airport stop. Orange Line is direct; Green Line requires a transfer at Earlington Heights. Service runs 5 AM–midnight. |
| Tri-Rail | Airport stop. Links three counties. Extra post-match train around 10 PM for select matches — check the schedule before you go. |
| Brightline | Downtown stop. Connect to Metrorail at Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre (just 0.2 miles). Stops available in Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and more. |
| Metromover | Free service. Reach it from Government Center or Brickell, then connect to Metrorail at Government Center. |
| Trolley | Flagami Route to the Intermodal Center. Completely free and accessible to all. |
| Metrobus | Routes 7, 20, 36, 37, 42, 57, 150, and 338 all connect to the Airport stop from across the county. |
| Broward County Transit | Route 115 from Miramar Park and Ride to the Airport stop. |
Walking from the Intermodal Center to Nu Stadium
Once you arrive at the Intermodal Center, it's a straightforward walk to the grounds. Here's the route:
- Head south to the intersection of NW 21st St / NW 38th Court.
- Cross to the south side using the signalized crosswalk.
- Walk west along the Sheraton Airport Hotel road.
- Follow the wayfinding signage to the pedestrian bridge over the canal — it leads directly to Freedom Park and the venue.
If you need assistance, an ADA shuttle is available from the Intermodal Center to Nu Stadium. Look for signage at the stop.
What to bring and getting in
This section might save your entire evening. Nothing ruins a mood faster than being turned away at the entrance because your bag is the wrong size. Nu Stadium enforces a strict clear bag policy, and they mean it. Let's make sure you walk right through.
Clear bag policy
What's permitted:
- One see-through plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag — maximum 12" × 6" × 12"
- OR one gallon-size see-through Ziploc-style container
- One small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5" — this one doesn't need to be transparent
- Medically necessary supplies (approved in advance via members@intermiamicf.com)
- Diapers and wipes in a see-through container
🚫 Not permitted (this is not the complete list — just the most common mistakes):
- Umbrellas
- Outside food and beverage, coolers, bottles, cans
- Cameras with detachable lenses over 6", GoPros, selfie sticks
- Laptops and tablets
- Noisemaking devices (horns, vuvuzelas, whistles)
- Smoking or vaping products of any kind
- Weapons of any kind, including replicas
- Backpacks or non-clear bags exceeding size limits
Note: strollers and infant carriers are permitted — see the Families section below.
Essential checklist for the day
Here's what smart Inter Miami supporters bring every time. Please note these are the essentials — everything else can stay at home:
- ✅ Credit or debit card — the venue is 100% cashless. No cash accepted anywhere. Not at concessions, not at merch, not anywhere.
- ✅ Phone with mobile passes saved to Apple Wallet or Google Pay. Screenshots are NOT valid.
- ✅ Digital vehicle pass with QR code ready to display.
- ✅ Government-issued photo ID — required for alcohol purchases. You must be 21+ and they will check.
- ✅ Sunscreen and sunglasses for daytime fixtures.
- ✅ Earplugs for noise-sensitive attendees or young children.
- ✅ Your clear bag with essentials only — keep it light.
💡 Pro tip: Pack a second Ziploc inside your main clear bag. It's perfect for stashing any freebies you pick up at the Fan Zone. Remember: there's no re-entry, so you can't walk back to your car to drop things off once you're inside.
Passes & getting in: everything you need to know
Getting into the venue should be the easy part — and it will be, as long as you prepare your passes in advance. Here's the full breakdown of how admission works for Inter Miami fixtures in 2026.
Mobile passes only
This is non-negotiable. All admission is mobile-only. There are no paper versions. Not even at will-call. Here's how to make sure yours works at the entrance:
- Use the Inter Miami CF app to view and manage your passes.
- Save to Apple Wallet or Google Pay before the day — ideally a day or two in advance. This gives you the fastest possible experience at the entrance.
- Screenshots and screen recordings are NOT valid. The scanners read dynamic barcodes. If it's a static image, it won't work and you'll be stuck.
- If you're attending with friends or family, share and transfer digitally through the app in advance. Don't wait until you're standing at the entrance — transfer them the night before.
Children's admissions
- Kids age 3 and up need their own pass.
- Children under 3 get in free but must sit on an adult's lap. No separate seat.
Group admissions
Planning a group outing? Groups of 10 or more can get discounted rates. This is perfect for corporate events, bachelor parties, birthday celebrations, or just a massive friend group who wants to see Messi together. Call (305) 428-0611 to arrange it.
Gates at Nu Stadium
Knowing which gate gives you the best route to your section saves you a ton of walking. Here's where each one is situated:
| Gate | Location & notes |
|---|---|
| North Gate | Northeast corner. The primary home supporters entrance — if you're with La Familia, this is yours. |
| Royal Caribbean East Gate | East side. Entry for East Club and pitch-side seat holders. |
| South Gate | South side, near the main team store and parking garage. |
| West VIP Entrance | West side. Reserved for suites, loge, executive/platinum, and West & Nu Club holders. |
Will-call or pass issues? The Ticket Office and Guest Services are in the Plaza.
What to expect at the door
Once you approach, here's the process:
- All attendees are screened through metal detectors.
- All belongings are searched — another reason to keep your bag minimal.
- No re-entry. Once you leave, you cannot come back in. Plan accordingly.
Food & drink: a culinary experience at the venue
Okay, let's talk about something that genuinely sets Inter Miami apart from many other MLS clubs — and honestly, from most professional sports venues in America: the food. This isn't your typical overpriced, underwhelming fare. The club partners with Delaware North and Miami's favorite local restaurants to create a dining program built around the city's chefs.
Whether you eat in the Fan Zone before play begins or grab something from one of the dozens of concession counters inside, you're in for a treat.
Dining highlights
🥩 Mr. Chory — Argentinian asado at its finest. Choripán sandwiches, grilled meat platters with chimichurri, all cooked on a woodfire grill. Find it at two locations — the North side and the Lowe's Terraces. This is the one everyone talks about.
🍖 Club de la Milanesa — Irresistibly crispy Argentine milanesa, famously Messi's favorite dish. Tucked into the northeast corner — get there before word spreads.
🫓 Doggi's Arepas — Venezuelan arepas stuffed with classic fillings, with two spots on the East side. Perfect for eating with one hand while you watch the action.
☕ Café Bustelo Bar & Ventanita — A full Cuban coffee bar — café con leche, cortadito and more — plus pastries, cachitos and tequeños from Caracas Bakery. If you don't know what tequeños are, you're about to discover your new favorite snack.
🍕 Vice City Pie — Hand-tossed pizza by the slice, made in-house. Fast, foldable, and exactly what you want at halftime.
🍢 Churrasco 305 — Skewers and pintxos with a Miami accent. Great for grazing your way through the concourse.
🍺 Modelo Especial Bar — At 185 feet, it's the longest bar in all of MLS. A central gathering point on the concourse serving Modelo, Modelo Chelada, Corona and Pacífico. Hard to miss, easy to love.
In total, the venue features dozens of concession counters, grab-and-go markets, and portable carts spread throughout. You won't go hungry.
VIP dining options
If you're in a premium seat, the food gets even more special:
- East Club — The stadium's entry-level premium space (around 1,200 guests) with direct access to pitch-side seats. Pay-as-you-go dining from market-style concessions featuring Coyo Taco, Vice City Pizza, and Miss Crispy Rice, plus premium bars at both ends. A roped-off all-inclusive section seats around 300.
- West Club — The all-inclusive experience (around 2,000 guests across suites and premium seating). A food-festival-style atmosphere with rotating stations from local chefs, with menus curated specifically for Inter Miami by Executive Chef Marvi Mapa in partnership with Delaware North.
Key food & drink policies
- All transactions are cashless — card or mobile pay only. Leave your cash at home.
- Alcohol sales end at the 70th minute of play.
- Maximum 2 alcoholic drinks per transaction.
- Valid government-issued ID required for alcohol purchases. You must be 21+, and clipped IDs with paperwork are not accepted.
- No outside food or beverages permitted inside.
Insider tips and weather
We scoured forums, Reddit threads, and talked to season holders who've been to more fixtures than they can count. Here are the tips they wish someone had told them before their first visit.
Before you leave the house
- Buy your vehicle pass in advance. We've said it three times already because it matters. There are no on-site sales. Not ever.
- Download the Inter Miami CF app and save your passes to your phone's wallet days ahead. Don't wait until you're sitting in your car with spotty cell signal.
- Check the weather. All fixtures are rain or shine. Lightning delays happen frequently in South Florida — the rule is a minimum 30-minute delay for every lightning strike within 8 miles, and the clock resets with each new strike.
- If you're taking Brightline or Tri-Rail to Nu Stadium, check the schedule for special post-fixture departure trains. Tri-Rail often runs an extra train around 10 PM for select matches — confirm the schedule first.
Once you're there
- Hit the Baptist Health Fan Zone first. Then grab food to bring to your seats in time for warm-ups. This is the optimal flow.
- Look for wristband sign-up tables before queuing for activities. Some require registration and fill up quickly.
- After a win or draw, head to the supporters section (North Stand at Nu Stadium) to sing and cheer with La Familia. "You'll hear the drums before you see them." It doesn't matter if you don't know the chants — the energy is infectious and every attendee is welcome.
- Free WiFi is available. Connect to the "IMCF" network — you'll need to register once with your name, email, and phone number.
- First Aid is found on the Main Concourse between Sections 238–239 (northwest corner), operated by Baptist Health.
- Guest Services is your go-to for lost belongings, directions, disability accommodations, and lost children. They're incredibly helpful — don't hesitate to ask.
Seeing players warm up & getting close to the pitch
This is what many attendees — especially first-timers drawn by Messi's presence — are really wondering about. Player warm-ups typically begin about 30 minutes before the whistle, so if you're in your seat by then, you'll get to watch the squad prepare right there on the pitch.
For the best view of warm-ups, try to sit in the lower sections near the playing surface. While autographs aren't guaranteed (and the club doesn't have a formal autograph session), arriving early and being near the pitch gives you the best chance of a memorable interaction.
Weather & delays
South Florida weather is beautiful — until it isn't. Especially during the summer months, afternoon thunderstorms roll through like clockwork. Here's what you need to know so you're not caught off guard.
- All Inter Miami fixtures are rain or shine. The action will go on even in a downpour.
- Lightning within 8 miles of the venue triggers a mandatory delay. The minimum is 30 minutes from the last lightning strike, and the clock resets with each new strike detected.
- If a delay happens before doors open: stay in your car. Follow the club's social media channels for real-time updates.
- If you're already inside during a delay: evacuate the seating bowl and shelter underneath the grandstands. Staff will guide you.
- No re-entry if you leave during a delay. This is important — don't walk back to your car thinking you'll come back in.
- Updates are shared via the PA system inside and across the club's official social media accounts.
💡 Pro tip: Remember, umbrellas are not permitted. If rain is in the forecast, wear a poncho or a light waterproof jacket. You can buy ponchos at the store inside, but you'll save money bringing your own (as long as it fits in your clear bag).
Families, groups & first-timers
Bringing the kids? Planning a bachelor party? Visiting from out of town and attending your very first MLS fixture ever? This section is for you.
For families
An Inter Miami outing is genuinely one of the best family experiences in South Florida. Here's how to make it smooth:
- The Baptist Health Fan Zone is a must for kids. Soccer, challenges, giveaways — your children will have a blast before you even walk inside the venue.
- At Nu Stadium, don't miss "Icons in Training" for kids ages 5–14. It's a free coaching session led by Inter Miami Academy coaches at the Baptist Health Sports Fields — real Academy-style training stations for young fans.
- Baby changing stations are in the family restrooms at Sections 226/227 and 238/239, plus the club and suite levels.
- Family restrooms are on the Main Concourse at Sections 226/227 and 238/239, with additional facilities in the club and suite areas.
- Strollers and infant carriers are welcome. Those that don't fold under a seat can be checked at the Guest Services Stroller Check-in (Sections 201–202).
- Consider bringing earplugs for noise-sensitive children. The supporters section gets loud, and the drums carry throughout the entire space.
- Kids age 3 and up need their own pass. Under 3 is free but must sit on a lap.
For groups
Groups of 10 or more can score discounted rates by calling (305) 428-0611. This is perfect for:
- Corporate outings and client entertainment
- Bachelor or bachelorette parties
- Birthday celebrations
- School or youth soccer trips
- Friend groups visiting South Florida for the weekend
When coordinating a large group, make sure to share and transfer all passes digitally through the Inter Miami CF app well before the day. Nothing kills group energy like standing at the entrance while someone fumbles with transfers on their phone. Do it the night before.
For first-time attendees
Welcome! Here's your cheat sheet:
- Download the Inter Miami CF app right now. Save your pass to your wallet.
- Buy your vehicle pass online in advance.
- Pack a clear bag only. Leave backpacks and non-transparent containers at home.
- Arrive 2–3 hours early. Hit the Baptist Health Fan Zone. Grab food. Find your seats.
- Bring a credit or debit card — no cash accepted at the venue.
- Wear comfortable shoes. You'll be on your feet more than you think.
- Don't be afraid to ask for help. Guest Services is in the Plaza by the Ticket Office (with a booth at Sections 201–202), and the excellent staff at every gate can point you there.
Planning your trip: hotels & itinerary
If you're traveling to South Florida specifically for an Inter Miami fixture — first of all, amazing decision. But why limit yourself to just the action? Here's how to build a full beach-and-soccer weekend around your experience.
Where to stay
Our pick — Castle by the Sea (Lauderdale-by-the-Sea): For fans who want their matchday wrapped in a proper beach getaway, this is our home base. Castle by the Sea is a laid-back seaside retreat just steps from the sand on North Ocean Drive — an outdoor pool, free beach chairs and towels, free WiFi, and select rooms with full kitchens so you can fuel up before kickoff. The staff are famously hands-on and happy to point you to the best local eats. It sits on the Fort Lauderdale beaches, about 35 miles north of Nu Stadium — close enough to make a weekend of it, far enough that you come home to a quiet stretch of sand instead of airport traffic. Check rates & book your stay →
💡 Getting there and back: Driving south on matchday takes roughly 60–75 minutes in match traffic. Tri-Rail from Cypress Creek station down to the Miami Airport station drops you beside the stadium and earns you the $10 food & beverage credit — but check the return schedule before you commit. The last northbound trains run early, and post-match service is only added for select fixtures. If your kickoff is at 7:30 PM, driving is the safer bet for the trip home.
Want to be closer to kickoff? Nu Stadium sits next to Miami International Airport, so airport-adjacent hotels are plentiful and Brickell offers a direct Metrorail ride to the airport station. The trade-off is what you wake up to. Airport hotels put you 15 minutes from the gates, but they're built for layovers — parking garages, flight paths, and a highway interchange for a view. Stay up at Castle by the Sea and you trade an hour of driving for a morning swim, a walk on the pier, and a beach that's still quiet at 8 AM. If you're flying in for one fixture and out the next morning, stay near the airport. If the match is the centrepiece of a weekend in South Florida, sleep by the water.
Been coming to matches for a while? We've also written a look back at Inter Miami's final season at Chase Stadium, the club's Fort Lauderdale home before the move south.
Building a day itinerary
Here's a sample schedule for a visitor staying at the beach and attending a 7:30 PM fixture at Nu Stadium:
- Morning: Ease in at Castle by the Sea — coffee by the pool, a swim, and a walk along the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea sand and pier. If you're up early, the reef sits close enough to shore that you can dive or snorkel straight off the beach and still make kickoff.
- Lunch: Eat in the walkable downtown a few blocks from the hotel, then head back to change into your Inter Miami gear and pack your clear bag.
- 3:00 PM: Drive south. If you have time to spare, detour through Little Havana for a cortadito on Calle Ocho before continuing to the stadium.
- 5:00 PM: Arrive at the grounds and head straight to the Baptist Health Fan Zone. Eat, play, explore.
- 6:30 PM: Head inside through the gates (they open 90 minutes before kickoff). Find your seats and watch warm-ups on the pitch.
- 7:30 PM: The whistle blows. Enjoy every second.
- Post-fixture: Head back north to the coast — and a quiet night steps from the sea.
Checking the 2026 schedule
The full 2026 Inter Miami schedule is available on the official website at intermiamicf.com. All of the club's home matches — the 17 MLS regular-season fixtures plus Leagues Cup games — are played at Nu Stadium, so you won't be hopping between venues. Still, always confirm the date and kickoff time before you plan your route, since playoffs, Leagues Cup, and international friendlies can land on different days and times.

Frequently asked questions
For first-timers and families, we recommend arriving 2–3 hours before the whistle to enjoy the Baptist Health Fan Zone, grab food, and settle into your seats. Experienced attendees can arrive 60–90 minutes early. At Nu Stadium, parking lots begin accepting cars 3 hours before kickoff, and gates open 90 minutes before.
In 2026, Inter Miami plays all of its home matches at the new Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park, near the international airport. Nu Stadium debuted on April 4, 2026, with a capacity of 26,700 seats. The club's former home in Fort Lauderdale — now Inter Miami CF Stadium — is used as a training site and the home of Inter Miami CF II, so all first-team home fixtures are at Nu Stadium.
No. All parking passes must be purchased online in advance — there are absolutely no on-site sales. Buy yours through the official Inter Miami CF parking page, and have your digital pass with QR code ready as you approach. Email confirmations are not accepted — only the actual QR code.
Nu Stadium enforces a strict clear bag policy. You may bring one see-through plastic, vinyl, or PVC bag (maximum 12" × 6" × 12") or a one-gallon see-through freezer bag, plus one small clutch no larger than 4.5" × 6.5". Backpacks, oversized or non-clear bags, umbrellas, and outside food are not permitted. Strollers and infant carriers are allowed — those that don't fold under a seat can be checked at Guest Services. Check the full list on the official website before attending.
Yes! The Baptist Health Fan Zone opens 3 hours before the whistle and is available to all ticketed guests.

No. Nu Stadium is a 100% cashless venue. All transactions — concessions, merchandise, beverages — require a credit card, debit card, or mobile payment. There are no ATMs on site, so come prepared with a card or mobile wallet.
Absolutely — and it's strongly recommended. Nu Stadium sits directly across from the Miami Intermodal Center, adjacent to the international airport. You can reach it via Metrorail, Tri-Rail, Brightline (with a Metrorail connection), Metrobus, Metromover, Trolley, or Broward County Transit. Supporters who use public transit receive a $10 food and beverage credit, redeemed at the Guest Services booth outside Section 101 with your transit receipt and match ticket.
Children age 3 and up require their own pass for admission. Kids under 3 can attend for free but must sit on an adult's lap — no separate seat is provided. Passes can be managed and transferred through the Inter Miami CF app.
Lightning within 8 miles triggers a mandatory delay of at least 30 minutes from the last strike. The clock resets with each new strike detected.

Nu Stadium has four points of entry. The West VIP Entrance, on the west side, is reserved for suites, loge, and West/Nu Club members. General gates are the South Gate (near the main team store and parking garage), the North Gate (the primary home supporters entrance, home to La Familia), and the Royal Caribbean East Gate (for East Club and pitch-side seats). Your gate is assigned based on your seating section.
Parking lots begin accepting cars 3 hours before the whistle (and up to 5 hours before at Nu Stadium for major events), but traditional tailgating is limited. Fans looking to gather before the match are better off heading to the Baptist Health Fan Zone, which has food, drinks, restrooms, and entertainment. The Fan Zone effectively serves as the tailgate experience.
