The kick-off of MLS 2024 will arrive with the clash between Inter Miami and Real Salt Lake on Wednesday, February 21 at the newly named Chase Stadium (8pm ET / 5pm PT).

Formerly known as DRV PNK Stadium, the ground will host what will be a season of promise for Gerardo Martino’s team. Last season they struggled and, although they managed to win the first title in their history with Leagues Cup, in MLS they failed to even make the playoffs.

With Messi and Luis Suárez leading the attack, looking to emulate what they once did with Barcelona, the duo have the mission of taking The Herons to the top of US soccer.

How many seats were added with the stadium increase?

The euphoria of ‘Messimania’, along with being able to see Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez and Jordi Alba at home, caused Inter Miami to sell out their season tickets, however, the former DRV PNK Stadium announced that they would increase its capacity just for the start of the 2024 MLS season.

With the renovations, Chase Stadium went from a capacity of 19,100 to 21,550, so more people will be able to witness how Inter Miami fares on home turf. Among the changes that were made to expand the space were the southwest corner and increased capacity in the northeast and southeast corners.
