Demolition At Lockhart Begins As Inter Miami Start 2020 Ticket Sales

The clock starts now for Inter Miami. Their inaugural MLS season is due to kick off in 10 months, and for the first time today we saw signs of construction. Or rather demolition. The club held a ceremony for the beginning of the work to be done at Lockhart Stadium.

They’ll probably have to work at a quicker rate of speed than that original thunk of a dilapidated ticket booth if they are to destroy Lockhart, Fort Lauderdale Stadium, and get an 18,000 seat stadium built in time for next season. But, if you’re interested in buying tickets for a yet to be constructed stadium, you can do so now.

While demolition begins today, at the moment Inter Miami only have a temporary agreement with the City of Fort Lauderdale to demolish the two stadiums that currently sit there. A full agreement for construction and occupancy is still being ironed out. Mayor Dean Trantalis told me today that those talks are going well and as long as Inter follow the city’s codes, it should go ahead as planned.
