Inter Miami get stadium approval in Miami Freedom Park project vote

The plan, passed via a 4-1 vote, includes a 25,000-seat stadium that’ll house the Herons. The project will be entirely privately funded.

The site, which currently contains Melreese golf course, will also include hotel rooms, commercial and office space, community fields and the single largest public park in the city of Miami with over 58 acres of freely accessible, clean park land.

“[It’s] an amazing day for the voters of our city, for the fans of football in Inter Miami and I want to sincerely thank the Commissioner, the Mayor and everyone who was involved in this process,” said Inter Miami CEO and Managing Owner, Jorge Mas in a press conference after the approval was confirmed. “I always knew that this would happen, because I believe in our city and I believe in dreaming and today a dream commences.”
