Scored tickets to go see Messi play for Inter Miami CF?
You're in for a treat, both on and off the pitch. While the match is in Fort Lauderdale, Miami is where the party and culture intertwine. Let's break it down.
Touching Down
Book your flight into Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) as that puts you in close proximity to the DRV PNK Stadium. On the way to your hotel, stop by Anthony’s Runway 84 if you have the munchies and are in the mood for some delicious Italian food. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is the place to be so you don’t spend too much time commuting to and from the game.
