Inter Miami’s long-awaited move into Miami Freedom Park is edging closer, with fresh details emerging about the ambitious stadium district set to open in phases from April next year.
A new 25,000-seat stadium will sit at the heart of a vast mixed-use complex designed to operate as a year-round destination, rather than a matchday-only venue. Club officials believe the surrounding attractions will redefine the fan experience in the United States.
Construction on the wider Freedom Park district began in August 2023, with Inter Miami later confirming in September that the team would relocate there next year after remaining at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale longer than initially planned.
According to The Stadium Business, the first phase of the project is scheduled to open on April 4, marking a major milestone in the club’s long-term vision for a permanent home.
Unique entertainment concepts set to anchor the district
Among the headline additions is PopStroke, the Tiger Woods-backed golf entertainment brand, which will form part of the stadium district’s early tenant line-up. The concept blends high-quality putting courses with food, drink and social spaces.
Another major attraction will be Toroverde, an adventure park operator with sites in Puerto Rico, Spain and the UAE. Miami Freedom Park will host its first-ever mainland US location, adding a further interactive element for visitors.
Live entertainment discovery platform Fever will also establish a presence within the complex. Together, these tenants will account for more than 125,000 square feet of retail and entertainment space in the opening wave.
“Miami Freedom Park is thoughtfully curating a one-of-a-kind destination that blends sport, entertainment, and hospitality in a way that only Miami can,” said Devon McCorkle, president of Miami Freedom Park.
Inter Miami with a long-term vision beyond football
In total, the Freedom Park development will feature over one million square feet of retail, dining, office and entertainment space, alongside the stadium itself and 750 hotel rooms designed to support tourism and major events.
The project also includes the 58-acre Jorge Mas Canosa Park, which will become the city’s largest new public green space in generations. Community athletic fields will form part of the site, reinforcing the club’s pledge to integrate the stadium into local life.
While several anchor tenants have been confirmed, further retail leasing opportunities remain available, with plots ranging from 2,500 to 30,000 square feet, suggesting the district will continue to evolve after the stadium opens.
FGG Says
Miami Freedom Park represents a shift in how modern football stadiums are conceived, particularly in North America. Inter Miami are not simply building a home ground, but an entertainment ecosystem designed to draw supporters and tourists all year round.
The inclusion of interactive concepts like PopStroke and Toroverde shows a clear intent to keep fans engaged beyond 90 minutes. If executed well, Freedom Park could become a blueprint for future stadium developments, where football is the centrepiece, but not the only attraction.
