Inter Miami Travel Guide
Inter Miami are a Major League Soccer club that play in Fort Lauderdale rather than Miami itself, at a compact stadium on the site of the old Lockhart Stadium. A larger purpose-built ground at Miami Freedom Park near the airport has been under development, and the move has been publicly targeted more than once, so the home venue for any given season should be confirmed rather than assumed.
What a trip around Inter Miami looks like
Fan travel angle
The club has drawn far more international visitors than a typical MLS side, which means tickets for marquee fixtures move quickly and hotel pricing around match weekends behaves more like an event than a league game. Fort Lauderdale is a perfectly good base in its own right and is usually better value than South Beach.
On a matchday
Where fans go before and after
- Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, the main restaurant and bar strip
- Fort Lauderdale Beach for a base within a short drive of the ground
- Wilton Manors for bars away from the tourist strip
- Brickell in Miami proper if you want the city rather than the beach, about forty minutes away
Plan around this
- Confirm which stadium the match is at. The move to a new purpose-built ground has been targeted more than once.
- The current stadium is small, so demand for high-profile fixtures far exceeds supply and resale prices reflect it.
- There is no useful rail link to the current ground. Plan on driving or rideshare.
- Summer matches in South Florida are hot and thunderstorms are frequent. Evening kickoffs are more comfortable than afternoon ones.

Frequently asked questions
Where does Inter Miami actually play?+
At a compact stadium in Fort Lauderdale, not in Miami itself. A larger purpose-built ground at Miami Freedom Park has been in development, and the timing of any move should be confirmed before booking.
Should I stay in Miami or Fort Lauderdale?+
Fort Lauderdale is closer to the current ground and usually better value. Stay in Miami only if the rest of your trip is centred there, and budget forty minutes each way.
How hard are tickets to get?+
For marquee fixtures, harder than the league would suggest. The current stadium is small and the club draws well above typical MLS demand.

Fixture dates move for broadcast, ticket availability is often gated by membership, and tour access changes around fixtures. Confirm all three with the club before booking travel.
