Inter Miami prepare for NU Stadium as pitch laid down
26th March 2026
NU Stadium’s playing surface has been laid down ahead of the inaugural match at the Stadium, which will see Inter Miami face Austin FC on April 4.
The ground has been equipped with locally sourced top-level Bermudagrass. Below are the details of the top features of the newly installed pitch.
Pitch Details:
- Top-notch Bermudagrass dresses Nu Stadium, grown in a farm that grows high-quality sod locally in Loxahatchee, Florida.
- “Lay and Play” sod: a unique process of growing sod that allows it to be laid on the field and have great footing immediately, without moving like traditional thin-cut sod.
- World-class tools such as grow lights, compact sensor devices, and a sophisticated drainage system will ensure the right air, soil, light, humidity, soil moisture, and soil salinity are provided to grow the grass healthy and recover from usage.
The surface has already begun its rapid adaptation, ensuring it will be fully prepared ahead of hosting the action and energy that the reigning MLS Cup champions will bring to Miami starting on April 4.
