DRV PNK Stadium

Verified Timeline

Lore & Background

The stadium was originally named DRV PNK Stadium on April 9, 2021, after Inter Miami CF reached a naming rights agreement with Fort Lauderdale-based car retailer AutoNation. The name was a tie-in with AutoNation's breast cancer awareness campaign, with pink also being one of Inter Miami's main kit colors. Following Lionel Messi's June 2023 announcement of his planned move to Inter Miami CF, the club's managing owner Jorge Mas stated that the corners of the stadium would be filled to add 3,000 to 3,200 seats. The new sections used bleacher seating from the Miami International Autodrome, the temporary Formula One circuit built at Hard Rock Stadium for the Miami Grand Prix. The Fort Lauderdale city government announced on June 21 that Inter Miami CF would need to cease work on the seating expansion due to alleged installations done without permits; the club claimed that no work had commenced. An agreement between the club and the city was quickly struck to resolve the permitting dispute, as well as outstanding payments the club owed for a temporary parking lot used by the stadium that is planned to be converted to a public park. The 3,000 new seats were completed ahead of Messi's unveiling on July 16, along with new security measures and barriers on the pitch and near the players entrance. The press box was expanded from 37 to 52 seats with an auxiliary area that is adjusted based on demand. A second expansion was completed in January 2024 that increased capacity to 21,550 seats. A new section in the southwest corner, along with more seats in the northeast and southeast corners, added 1,200 seats; the expansion also included six 'opera boxes' and nine 'theatre boxes' with suite-like seats.

In Their Own Story

On November 13, 2019, Inter Miami CF announced that the club's inaugural home match would be scheduled for March 14, 2020, against the LA Galaxy. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the MLS season was paused. Fort Lauderdale CF therefore played the first match of the new stadium, a 0–2 loss to Greenville Triumph SC. Inter Miami CF would not play home matches until August 22, 2020, when they beat their in-state rival Orlando City SC 3–2 in the first MLS match at the stadium. On February 20, 2024, the day before Inter Miami CF's opening match of the 2024 regular season, the team announced a new naming rights deal with JPMorgan Chase, renaming the stadium to Chase Stadium. Following the 2025 season, and with the team's move to Nu Stadium in Miami, the stadium reverted to its original name, Inter Miami CF Stadium. On December 6, 2025, Inter Miami CF Stadium hosted MLS Cup 2025, where Inter Miami CF defeated Vancouver Whitecaps FC 3–1 to win their first MLS Cup title. This was also the final MLS home game for Inter Miami CF at the stadium. In March 2026, the team returned for a 2026 CONCACAF Champions Cup match.
