Nu Stadium Opens as Inter Miami’s Premium Hospitality Engine at Miami Freedom Park
Inter Miami’s 26,700-seat home opened April 4 with a sellout crowd, debuting a premium inventory mix built around field-level suites, multiple clubs, loge boxes, and executive suite products.
Inter Miami opened long-awaited Nu Stadium this week before a sellout crowd of 26,700, giving the club its first full public showcase of the new soccer-specific venue at Miami Freedom Park and its expanded premium hospitality platform. The opening match against Austin FC marked the end of the club’s run in Fort Lauderdale and the start of a new commercial chapter built around a permanent home in Miami.
The premium program is broad by MLS standards, including Pitchside Seats, ERGO Next Field Level Suites, East Club, Nu Club, West Club, Loge Boxes, Audi Executive Level Suites, and Platinum Level Suites as part of the stadium offering. Inter Miami has also promoted the building around weather-protected seating and concourses, a 360-degree open-air concourse, and premium areas integrated throughout the venue.
That mix is supported by a hospitality strategy designed to stretch beyond the bowl. Miami Freedom Park describes the Fan Zone as an open-air gathering space for live entertainment, pop-up activations, food and drink, merchandise, and sponsor activity before, during, and after matches. The club has also highlighted food-and-beverage ambitions inside the stadium, including what it calls the longest bar in MLS and a venue-wide culinary program operated by Delaware North.
“They’ve done the unthinkable. The stadium is spectacular, it’s breathtaking. Jose and Jorge [Mas] spoke to me this morning and they said, ‘I wish I could be with you when you walk in because it will take your breath away.’ And it did. It’s absolutely spectacular. It feels to me like a building that can rival any sports facility anywhere in the world. Not just soccer stadiums, but any sports building. I’m very proud of them.” – Don Garber, MLS Commissioner
Inter Miami’s premium sales approach suggests the club is aiming for multiple layers of hospitality rather than relying on a single flagship club product. On its ticketing platform, the club describes field-level suites as including preferred parking, VIP gate entry, elevated food menus, and sightlines for up to 14 guests. Separate suite inventory has also been marketed for smaller-group entertaining, with Victory View Suites pitched for groups of eight to 10.
“Today we’re home. I think this is a personification of what’s possible. I think it’s an amazing stadium, an amazing environment. And, listen, our goal is to lift trophies and win championships, and I think this will be a proper home to do that with and for our fans.” – Jorge Mas, Inter Miami Managing Owner
Nu Stadium opens with multiple hospitality tiers, VIP entry points, suite inventory sized for different buyer profiles, and a surrounding event zone that can support sponsor activations and pregame dwell time. That gives the club more ways to monetize demand tied to MLS matches, global star power, and non-soccer programming across the wider Miami Freedom Park development.
“To see this stadium come to life after years and years of trying to get this stadium up and running in Miami is something very special. I came to America and MLS 20 years ago, and I made a lot of promises. And 13 years ago, I made a lot of promises again, announcing that I was coming to Miami. Today is just a dream come true for us.” – David Beckham, Inter Miami Co-Owner
