Nu Stadium Guide: Parking, Transit, Bag Policy and Tips for Inter Miami Fans

Nu Stadium is Inter Miami’s new home at Miami Freedom Park, right next to Miami International Airport. It opened on April 4, 2026, and it’s a very different trip from the club’s old ground in Fort Lauderdale. Here’s everything you need to know before your first match.

Getting there: take the train if you can

Nu Stadium sits beside one of Miami’s busiest traffic areas, and local officials have warned of heavy delays on matchdays. Public transit is the easiest way in, and many fans now use it.

Public transit

  • Miami Intermodal Center is the closest hub. It serves Metrorail (Miami International Airport station, on the Orange Line), Tri-Rail (Miami Airport station), Metrobus and Broward County Transit Route 115.
  • Free Miami Trolley: the Flagami Route stops at the Intermodal Center.
  • The walk: from the Intermodal Center, follow the signs south to NW 21st Street, then west along the Sheraton Miami Airport access road to the pedestrian bridge over the canal into Miami Freedom Park.
  • Accessible shuttle: a free ADA shuttle runs from the Intermodal Center, starting four hours before the match.
  • Tri-Rail after the match: Tri-Rail has added late trains after select Saturday matches, so check its schedule before you go.

Inter Miami has rewarded transit riders with a $10 food and drink credit, and has sold a $10 round-trip Tri-Rail matchday ticket. Check the club’s transportation page for the current offer.

Driving and parking

  • The stadium has more than 4,500 on-site parking spaces, the most at any MLS stadium.
  • Parking passes must be bought in advance. There are no same-day sales at the lots.
  • Leave much earlier than you think you need to, especially for Saturday night matches.
  • Rideshare drop-off and pickup is near the stadium. Expect long waits after the final whistle.

What you can bring

  • Clear bags only: one clear plastic, vinyl or PVC bag no larger than 12″ x 6″ x 12″, or a one-gallon clear freezer bag. A small hand-sized clutch is also allowed.
  • Not allowed: backpacks, coolers, umbrellas, outside food and drinks (medical and infant needs excepted), alcohol, cans and bottles, laptops and tablets, drones, scooters and bikes.
  • No re-entry: once you leave, your ticket won’t get you back in.
  • Smoke-free: no smoking or vaping anywhere in the stadium.

Bring sunscreen and a hat for afternoon matches, since umbrellas aren’t allowed. Inter Miami can update its list of banned items at any time, so check the club’s A-Z guide before you go.

Tickets and entry

  • Tickets are mobile only and live in the Inter Miami CF app. Add them to Apple Wallet or Google Pay before you leave home.
  • Screenshots and screen recordings of tickets won’t scan.
  • Children 2 and under can sit on an adult’s lap for free. Everyone 3 and older needs a ticket.
  • The Ticketmaster box office by the East Gate opens three hours before kickoff.

Inside the stadium

Nu Stadium has a partial roof canopy, what the club calls the longest bar in MLS, and the league’s largest team store. Everything is cashless, so bring a card or phone wallet. Free hydration stations are spread around the concourse, which helps on hot South Florida nights.

Accessibility

Accessible seating can be booked through Ticketmaster or by emailing guestservices@intermiamicf.com. One companion ticket can usually be seated with you. Wheelchair service is available from Guest Services.

Quick matchday checklist

  • Tickets added to your phone wallet
  • Parking pass bought in advance, or a transit plan
  • Clear bag, or no bag
  • Card or phone for payment (no cash)
  • Sunscreen and water for day matches
  • Arrive when the gates open, 90 minutes before kickoff

Details come from Inter Miami’s official stadium guides and were checked in November 2026. Policies can change, so confirm on the club’s website before matchday.
