About the project

A purpose-built, 26,700-seat soccer stadium at Miami Freedom Park with a 360-degree open-air concourse, grand staircases, premium facilities, and views towards Miami's urban core. This historical dossier covers the delivered venue only. The separate 58-acre public park and later retail/hotel district phases are not all completed just because the stadium opened.

What remains uncertain

The club's own April retrospective corroborates a stadium opening, rather than merely a planned match. Earlier preliminary stadium design described 25,000 seats while the club's latest opening materials specify 26,700, which is used here. No unverified final all-in cost is assigned to the venue.
