Inter Miami faces New York City FC in a match where the fight to qualify for the playoffs for the Florida club reaches its peak. Those led by Gerardo Martino must achieve a victory in this scenario to continue aspiring to qualify for the postseason in Major League Soccer. However, Messi's presence for this match remains very difficult, and it is almost a fact that he will not start, according to what Argentine journalist Gaston Edul points out. For this reason, fans are already turning to watch the game against Chicago.

 

Lionel Messi has been the big attraction of the MLS since his arrival at Inter Miami in mid-July. The captain of the Argentine National Team had an immediate impact in the United States and, although it is not a country crossed by soccer, no one wants to miss La Pulga's matches in the pink franchise. It is enough to review the list of celebrities who came to the different stadiums to see it, among which LeBron James, Selena Gómez or Kim Kardashian, among others, stand out.

Now, the reality is that the DRV PNK Stadium, a venue located in Fort Lauderdale where the team led by Gerardo Martino is home, is too small for the demand generated by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or. However, now the '10' is next to visit Chicago Fire in a stadium that has a capacity for 63,000 spectators. Normally, the average attendance for all of Illinois is approximately 15,000 people, but official sources already anticipate that the stands will be full on October 4.

 

The important prices for this duel

However, the surprising thing is that the stands would be full despite the high ticket prices. Dave Baldwin, president of Chicago operations, announced that ticket values range from $99 to $5,000, the latter being the most expensive price. Along the same lines, the executive believes that it will be the first time that Soldier Field is completely full. In other words, Messi continues to make history in the MLS and will once again be the main protagonist of the new record for ticket sales.
