Inter Miami Hosts Philadelphia Union in a Key MLS Match at Chase Stadium
MIAMI, FLORIDA. – Inter Miami will look to continue its winning streak in MLS as they host Philadelphia Union this Saturday, marking the return to league play for both teams.
Inter Miami did not have any action last weekend and enters the match with an 8-point lead over their closest competitor, FC Cincinnati.
Philadelphia Union, meanwhile, is still hoping to secure a spot in the play-in round, sitting in 11th place with 30 points. A victory could significantly improve their chances of competing for one of the final spots.
The match could also mark the return of Lionel Messi to the field, as he hasn’t played since the Copa América final, where Argentina defeated Colombia.
Messi is very close to returning, and this Saturday against Philadelphia could be the much-anticipated comeback for “La Pulga.”
How Much Will Tickets Cost for Inter Miami vs. Philadelphia Union?
Individual tickets are still available for Saturday’s game at Chase Stadium, with prices ranging from $102 to $1,222.
The most affordable tickets are located behind the goal in the upper section. The average price for central seats, which are not near the benches, is $170.
To get up close to Busquets, Suárez, or Messi, ticket prices vary depending on the location, from $230 to $1,200. For example, a seat in the middle section behind Inter Miami’s bench costs $530.
Just behind the bench and a few meters away from the stars, the price rises to $1,010, plus an additional service fee.
For Saturday’s match, tickets are still available in almost all sections, and a large crowd is expected, as the chances of Messi’s return are high.

Chase Stadium, the Venue for the Match
Chase Stadium is a soccer stadium located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and currently serves as the home of Inter Miami CF, a team in Major League Soccer (MLS). Opened in 2020, the venue has quickly become a focal point for soccer in the United States, especially following the arrival of international stars like Lionel Messi. Originally named Lockhart Stadium, this historic venue was remodeled to become the temporary home of Inter Miami while the construction of their permanent stadium, Miami Freedom Park, is underway.
History and Construction
The stadium is situated on the site of the old Lockhart Stadium, which had been used for various sporting events since its opening in 1959. It was demolished in 2019 to make way for the new DRV PNK Stadium. Construction was fast-tracked to be ready for Inter Miami’s inaugural season in 2020. With an estimated cost of $60 million, the stadium was built as a temporary facility, albeit to top-tier standards.
Design and Features
Chase Stadium has a capacity of 19,100 spectators and features a modern, functional design that enhances the fan experience. The stadium is composed of four main stands and seats close to the field, creating a vibrant atmosphere during matches.
One of the standout features of the stadium is its south stand, where the team’s most passionate supporters gather, contributing to a lively, soccer-centric atmosphere.
Although intended as a temporary venue, Chase Stadium is equipped with all the necessary amenities for high-level events, including luxury suites, advanced broadcasting technology, and hospitality areas for fans.
Usage and Importance
Since its opening, the stadium has become the home of Inter Miami CF, a team co-owned by English soccer legend David Beckham. It has witnessed historic moments in U.S. soccer, particularly with the arrival of Lionel Messi in July 2023, which drew massive media attention and increased attendance and interest in the MLS.
In addition to soccer matches, Chase Stadium has hosted other sporting and community events. When it was known as Lockhart Stadium, it was used by several soccer and football teams, including the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and local college teams.
