Fun Night, Even with Growing Pains
by Brian R. on 3/1/22DRV PNK Stadium - Fort LauderdaleThe season opener was filled with growing pains. They made some right moves, like bringing in Parkmobile to do their non-season parking lot. Parkmobile sent people to a street that is closed to two way traffic by the cops, which sends you around the airport? Growing pain. Get to the front two gates? 30 minute wait to get through. No structure, barricades to guide people in. Pushing and shoving from some unruly fans. Growing pain Food service wasn’t prepared for the crowd. Ran out of lots of things. Their system still allowed you to order it, at the self-serve kiosk. When the folks pulling food tell you they don’t have it, there’s not a supervisor easily available to refund the money. Growing pain. What’s on the field is FUN! MLS professional soccer. The team looks far better this year, than last. For an expansion franchise, that’s huge. With one of the world’s all-time great players as a club owner, you expect that they’re going to work fast to get to an A game. The fans are loud, and proud. The seats are comfortable. Bathrooms were clean and easy to find. When the “growing pains” were brought to their attention, the front office was super-responsive to doing things about it. They want fans to have a primo experience. I’m truly appreciative of their professionalism, and trying to do right by Southeast Florida’s futbol fans. Inter Miami CF is going to be a contender, in many ways. Get tix now, before they go all Seattle, and you can’t get them. :)
