For those wondering why Inter Miami so desperately wants a stadium in the urban core of Miami, not in Broward or out in West Dade, this is why:
From the moment Major League Soccer kicked off 25 years ago the league’s goal has been to have a team in the Miami city limits that would not only cater to the soccer-crazed melting pot population, but also become a bilingual global brand that would extend the league’s reach into South and Central America and the Caribbean.
The idea was to get fans from those regions to adopt the Miami team as their U.S.-based team, buy team merchandise, watch games on TV, get to know the league, see beautiful views of the city skyline and travel to Miami to watch MLS games in person.
