It’s been a whirlwind stadium process for Inter Miami CF ahead of its debut season in Major League Season, but things appear to be coming together.
David Beckham and his club, who will play at least their first few seasons at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, released a hype video on Tuesday in an effort to promote season-ticket sales for 2020.

The video (above) features an interactive stadium rendering of the rejuvenated Lockhart Stadium, which was previously vacant in 2016 by the Fort Lauderdale Strikers.
On July 9, Inter Miami received clearance from the Fort Lauderdale City Commission on a 50-year lease agreement, as well as for the organization to begin construction on its temporary stadium.
The club anticipates construction to be complete in time for the start of the 2020 MLS season, which begins next March.
In addition to the stadium, Miami will also be constructing its training facility on the property.
a Miami team in Lockhart Stadium, a Chicago team in Soldier Field, Revs still in Foxboro and Dallas still playing at high school football stadium.
maybe they can organize a Wiz throwback night at the minor league baseball stadium near Sporting Park. early 2000’s nostalgia is alive!
Hilarious! Totally on board for throwback night sometime very soon!
Just when you thought the names couldn’t be any less cool. What is Inter Miami CF?
I honestly don’t get it, is CF just FC backward? Maybe inter is inbetween Ft Laud and Miami?
So they are going to start construction to finish in the stadium in early 2020, when ? no hurry, I was just wondering?
I would love for them to be the next Seattle, Portland, Atlanta, etc. Doesn’t seem to be going that way.
Spending all that money to build a big stadium JUST to house a USL team. OK …
