The summer of 2023 changed everything for 1350 NW 55th Street in Fort Lauderdale. Lionel Messi signed with Inter Miami CF, walked off the bench on July 21, 2023, and bent a free kick into the net in stoppage time — and Chase Stadium (1350 NW 55th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309) went from an unknown 21,550-seat MLS venue to one of the most-watched soccer destinations in the Western Hemisphere. Over the next two years, Inter Miami won three trophies here, including the 2025 MLS Cup Final on December 6, 2025, when a sold-out crowd of 21,556 watched Messi's group beat Vancouver Whitecaps 3–1 in the final home match this stadium will ever host for the Inter Miami first team.
The club moved to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park in April 2026 — but Chase Stadium, now officially operating as Inter Miami CF Stadium, is still very much open and still very much the home of Inter Miami CF II in MLS Next Pro, with 14 home matches on the 2026 calendar.
What hasn't changed: the parking situation, the Commercial Boulevard approach, and the post-game rideshare crunch outside Gate 1. Chase Stadium was not built with the I-95 infrastructure of a 65,000-seat stadium — it doesn't need to be — but the access roads and limited on-site lots were already feeling the pressure of Messi's arrival and they haven't gotten any easier. A party bus or charter bus rental to Chase Stadium is the clean answer to the whole thing: one vehicle, one pickup, one drop near the gates, and a bus waiting when the final whistle blows instead of a rideshare surge at the corner of NW 12th and NW 53rd.

Why a Miami Party Bus or Charter Bus Makes Sense for Chase Stadium
The stadium sits about 0.8 miles northwest of I-95, reached via Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard West). That stretch of Commercial Boulevard was not designed for match-night volumes — cars back up toward I-95 before the lots even open, directed traffic management narrows entry options, and right turns only are permitted from westbound Commercial onto NW 15th Avenue, funneling lot-bound traffic through one controlled chokepoint. From downtown Miami, the 25-mile I-95 run adds another layer: the stretch between the Golden Glades interchange and Exit 32 slows significantly on a sold-out evening, and GPS arrival estimates made from your couch bear little resemblance to what actually happens near kickoff.
The bigger problem is the lots themselves. Every reserved space at Chase Stadium — Yellow Lot, Audi Blue Lot, Green Lot — requires a pre-purchased digital pass enforced by license plate recognition. There is no gate-pay option, no cash line, no showing up and figuring it out on arrival.
On high-demand match nights, the primary lots fill before kickoff, and the Yellow Lot Overflow at 1110 W Commercial Blvd — which opens event-day only as spillover — also sells through. Fans who didn't buy ahead can find themselves circling, parking off-site and walking, or waiting for a rideshare surge that makes the post-game exit its own ordeal. The designated rideshare pickup zone at the corner of NW 12th and NW 53rd streets, across from Gate 1, gets queued fast after a capacity crowd.
A charter bus or Miami sporting event party bus rental cuts all of that out of your night. Your group loads at one address in Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables, or wherever your hotel is, the bus handles I-95 and the Exit 32 turn sequence, your group walks off near the gates, and the bus stages nearby for a pre-arranged post-game pickup. No parking pass coordination across 10 separate cars, no designated driver problem, no post-match surge fare.
One call or one form, and all of it is handled.
Charter Bus and Party Bus Drop-Off at Chase Stadium
Commercial vehicles approaching Chase Stadium from Miami take I-95 North to Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard West). From there, access to the southern lot entrances follows NW 15th Avenue north — where the right-turn-only restriction from westbound Commercial applies — or NW 21st Avenue for the Yellow Lot Overflow approach. For the northern approach (Yellow Lot, closest to the stadium), access is via Cypress Creek Boulevard to NW 10th Terrace from the north, bypassing the Commercial Blvd congestion entirely.
For large vehicles like a 56-passenger charter bus with a wide turning radius, the Cypress Creek approach to the Yellow Lot is the cleaner option when lot access permits it for your event.
Curbside drop-off for commercial vehicles is in the area near Gate 1 (southeast corner), where the designated rideshare zone sits across the street. For a private bus, the staging location during the match and the confirmed approach route for your event date are sorted when the reservation is finalized — so there is no guessing at a blocked access road on match night. Gates at Chase Stadium open 90 minutes before kickoff; lots open approximately two to three hours before the match.
Check Inter Miami's match day transportation page for the latest official parking and lot-access details.
There are five entry points at Chase Stadium: Gate 1 (southeast corner, nearest the rideshare and commercial drop zone), Gate 2 (northeast corner, primary for home supporters), Gate 3 (northwest corner), the VIP entrance on the west side, and the media entrance. For a fan group arriving by charter bus or party bus, Gate 1 is the closest to the commercial vehicle drop zone — your group steps off and walks straight in rather than crossing the full lot complex on foot. If your group has supporter section tickets, confirm your gate assignment in advance, because Gate 2 queues can run long on a capacity evening.
Right turns only from westbound Commercial Boulevard onto NW 15th Avenue — this is the restriction that catches first-time visitors in large vehicles off guard. Build your approach route around it before you leave; a charter bus that misses the turn has to clear a wide turning radius through a residential block. For groups arriving by private bus, the approach route is confirmed as part of the booking so you're not discovering traffic restrictions in real time.
Parking at Chase Stadium: What Every Group Needs to Know
Chase Stadium's approximately 6,000 surface parking spaces are divided across three reserved lots, with one event-day overflow lot and a complimentary shuttle for fans in the southernmost lots. The key detail: every reserved lot requires a pre-purchased digital parking pass with license plate enforcement. You cannot pay at the gate.
If you arrive without a pass, you are not parking on-site.
The Yellow Lot is the closest reserved lot to the stadium and fills first for sold-out matches. It is accessed from the north via Cypress Creek Boulevard and NW 10th Terrace — not from Commercial Blvd south, which helps fans in this lot avoid the worst of the Commercial Blvd directed-traffic queue. The Audi Blue Lot and Green Lot are reachable from the north via Cypress Creek Blvd and NW 10th Avenue, or from the south via Commercial Blvd and NW 15th Avenue.
All three lots run digital-pass verification with license plate recognition at entry — a missed confirmation email or a pass not pulled up on your phone means you're turned away.
When primary lots sell through, the Yellow Lot Overflow at 1110 W Commercial Blvd opens on event day. This lot is south of Commercial Boulevard, and Inter Miami's published transportation page notes that free shuttles run from the Yellow Lot area south of Commercial Blvd to the Fan Zone on match days — so fans in the overflow lot are not walking straight in; they're boarding a shuttle first, then arriving at the Fan Zone. General on-site parking runs $25 per vehicle, with premium spots in the $40–$60 range.
Purchase passes in advance through the official parking link on Inter Miami's match day transportation page.
A group of 40 driving separately needs 10–13 pre-purchased parking passes at $25–$60 each, coordinated lot entries, and individual post-game rideshare arrangements. One 40-passenger party bus handles all 40 for one booking — no pass coordination, no lot-entry timing, and no post-match surge at the Gate 1 rideshare zone. Once you're past a few cars' worth of people, the bus is usually both simpler and cheaper per head.
Chase Stadium Transportation: Every Option Compared
Chase Stadium sits in a suburban stretch of Fort Lauderdale where public transit from Miami is limited and post-game rideshare demand spikes hard. Here is an honest look at how all the main group-travel options stack up for a round trip from Miami or Broward.
| Option | Cost shape | Arrive together? | Door-to-door? | Post-game ease | Best group size |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private charter bus or party bus | One flat rate, split by the group | Yes — one vehicle, one arrival | Best — drops near Gate 1, stages for pickup | Pre-arranged — no surge, no wait | 15–56 |
| Brightline GOOOL Getter + shuttle | Per ticket, shuttle included | Only if everyone books the same train | Good — Fort Lauderdale station to Fan Zone | Shuttles at 15/30/45 min post-whistle | Any, no group control |
| Drive + pre-purchased parking | $25–$60 per car + gas | No — multiple cars, staggered arrival | Varies — Overflow lot requires a shuttle | Stuck in the same lot-exit crawl | 1–2 cars |
| Rideshare (Uber/Lyft) | Per car each way + post-game surge | No — multiple pickups, multiple ETAs | Zone at NW 12th & 53rd, Gate 1 side | Surge pricing + queue at the rideshare zone | 1–4 per car |
For one or two people coming from Fort Lauderdale, a rideshare or the Brightline GOOOL Getter train is often the smarter, cheaper call — no reason to charter a bus for a pair. But past six or eight people, the coordination cost of separate cars — different arrival windows, separate parking passes, the post-game rideshare queue multiplied across every car — tips clearly toward one bus. That's the group this guide is written for.
The Brightline GOOOL Getter to Chase Stadium
During the Messi era at Chase Stadium, Brightline ran dedicated GOOOL Getter specialty trains for Inter Miami home matches — round-trip service from Miami, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach to the Fort Lauderdale Brightline station (101 NW 2nd Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301), followed by a complimentary shuttle to the Fan Zone at Chase Stadium. The shuttle departed Fort Lauderdale station 10 minutes after each GOOOL Getter train arrived, and post-game shuttles ran from the stadium at 15, 30, and 45 minutes after the final whistle. The Fort Lauderdale station sits about 3 miles from the stadium, so the shuttle is the essential last-mile piece.
Since Inter Miami's first team relocated to Nu Stadium for 2026, the GOOOL Getter service may have been updated to serve the new venue rather than Fort Lauderdale — check Brightline's specialty trains schedule directly for current Inter Miami CF II match availability. For a group of 15 or more traveling together from Miami, though, a single charter bus or minibus leaving from one pickup point is simpler than coordinating train reservations and shuttle timing for everyone to stay together. The Brightline works best for individuals or pairs; once your group grows past about eight people, one bus departing your hotel curb keeps everyone on the same schedule with no transfers.
Getting to Chase Stadium from Miami and Broward: Routes and Timing
Chase Stadium is about 25 miles north of downtown Miami via I-95 — easy on a Tuesday afternoon, a different story on a match Wednesday or Saturday evening. The standard approach from Miami is I-95 North to Exit 32 (Commercial Boulevard West). From Broward, groups coming from Fort Lauderdale proper have a much shorter run: Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) sits about 5 miles away, typically 10–15 minutes outside of match-day congestion — making FLL the practical front door for groups flying in.
| From… | Approx. distance | Typical drive time (off-peak) |
|---|---|---|
| Downtown Miami / Brickell | ~25 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Miami Beach / South Beach | ~27 miles | 35–45 minutes |
| Miami International Airport (MIA) | ~25 miles | 30–40 minutes |
| Fort Lauderdale / FLL Airport | ~5 miles | 10–15 minutes |
| Hollywood / Miramar | ~12 miles | 15–25 minutes |
| Pembroke Pines / Davie | ~15 miles | 20–30 minutes |
On a sold-out match evening, add 20–40 minutes to any Miami-side estimate. I-95 between the Golden Glades interchange and Exit 32 backs up predictably once a large event is underway at the stadium, and the Commercial Blvd bottleneck at the lot-access turns adds time that no navigation app fully accounts for until you're already in it. On a private bus, that entire stretch belongs to someone else — your group is in one place, the approach is handled, and the post-game staging means you're rolling south on I-95 while rideshare demand is still spiking at the Gate 1 zone.
What Size Bus Does Your Group Need for Chase Stadium?
Chase Stadium's 21,550-seat capacity draws everything from small friend groups to organized fan club buses from across South Florida. The right vehicle for your group depends on headcount and pickup location — a short Broward run calls for a different vehicle than a Miami Beach-to-Fort Lauderdale round trip with post-game staging time. Browse the full vehicle lineup or use this breakdown for a Chase Stadium run specifically.
| Vehicle | Typical seats | Best for | Key amenities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter van / Sprinter limo | Up to ~14 | VIP groups, suite holders, small groups | Premium leather, USB charging, tinted privacy windows |
| 25-passenger party bus | ~25 | Friend groups, birthday outings, fan club runs | LED lighting, premium Bluetooth sound, flat-panel TVs |
| 40-passenger party bus | ~40 | Large fan groups, combined groups | Color-changing LED lighting, full sound system, wraparound seating |
| 15–35 passenger minibus | ~15–35 | Corporate clients, hotel-to-stadium shuttles | Powerful A/C, plush reclining seats, overhead storage |
| 40–56 passenger charter bus | Up to 56 | Large fan groups, season-ticket holder groups, supporter club buses | Reclining seats, climate control, WiFi, power outlets, onboard restrooms, undercarriage bays |
For fan groups wanting the match-day energy on the ride over, a 25- to 40-passenger party bus features LED lighting and a premium sound system that keeps the pregame build going from pickup to drop-off. For larger groups coming from further out, a full-size charter bus delivers onboard restrooms and undercarriage storage for gear — useful for the longer I-95 run from Miami. A 14-passenger Sprinter limo works well for a suite group or a smaller VIP party that wants a quieter ride.

A Sample Chase Stadium Run
To give you an idea: a group of 32 heading to a July CF II match at Chase Stadium books a 40-passenger party bus. Pickup at 5:30 PM from a Brickell hotel, in the commercial drop zone near Gate 1 by 6:45 PM — 75 minutes before kickoff. The group walks straight in without touching a parking lot.
The bus stages nearby during the 90-minute match. Pre-arranged pickup at 9:30 PM means the group is rolling south on I-95 before the rideshare surge at the Gate 1 zone has cleared. A 5-hour rental at that size might come to roughly $1,800 — about $56 per person, with the parking math, the lot-access timing, and the post-game rideshare queue completely removed from the night.
Match Day Tips for Chase Stadium First-Timers
- All parking must be bought in advance, no exceptions. Every reserved lot — Yellow, Audi Blue, and Green — uses digital-pass verification and license plate enforcement. There is no gate-pay option. The Yellow Lot Overflow at 1110 W Commercial Blvd opens event-day only when primary lots fill, but also requires a pre-purchased pass. Buy passes early at the official link on Inter Miami CF's match day transportation page.
- Right turns only from westbound Commercial Boulevard onto NW 15th Avenue. This traffic restriction surprises first-time visitors driving large vehicles. The Cypress Creek Blvd north approach (for Yellow Lot) avoids this bottleneck entirely.
- Gates open 90 minutes before kickoff, lots two to three hours before. Arriving at the lot entrance at least two hours before kickoff gives you time to work through directed traffic without stress.
- Post-game rideshare surge is predictable. The rideshare zone at NW 12th and NW 53rd streets queues immediately after the final whistle. Fans report walking a few blocks from the stadium before requesting a pickup helps settle the fare — but if you're on a pre-arranged bus, the post-game pickup is already staged nearby and none of this is your problem.
- Gate 2 is the northeast entry for home supporters. If your group has supporter section tickets, Gate 2 is the primary home supporter entry and draws a heavier queue on capacity nights. Confirm your gate assignment in advance.
- Groups of 10 or more can arrange discounted match tickets. Contact Inter Miami CF's group sales team at (305) 428-0611 to coordinate group ticket packages separately from your bus booking.
- The Yellow Lot free shuttle runs from south of Commercial Blvd. Fans parked in the Yellow Lot Overflow area board a complimentary shuttle to the Fan Zone rather than walking in directly — build that into your arrival time if you're coordinating with fans who drove separately.
Frequently Asked Questions About Charter Buses to Chase Stadium
Where does a charter bus or party bus drop off at Chase Stadium?
Commercial vehicle curbside drop-off is in the area near Gate 1 on the southeast side of Chase Stadium, where the designated rideshare zone sits at the corner of NW 12th and NW 53rd streets, directly across from the gate. The confirmed approach route and staging location for your specific event date are sorted as part of the booking — no guessing at a closed access road on match night. Check Inter Miami's match day transportation page for the current official parking and access guidance.
Does Inter Miami CF still play at Chase Stadium?
The Inter Miami CF first team relocated to Nu Stadium at Miami Freedom Park in April 2026. The Fort Lauderdale venue — known as Chase Stadium through the 2025 season, now officially operating as Inter Miami CF Stadium — is the full-time home of Inter Miami CF II in MLS Next Pro, with a 14-game home schedule in 2026. All transportation logistics in this guide apply to events at 1350 NW 55th St, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33309.
What does it cost to park at Chase Stadium?
General parking runs $25 per vehicle, with premium spots in the $40–$60 range. All lots require pre-purchased digital passes with license plate enforcement — no gate-pay, no exceptions. The free shuttle from the Yellow Lot Overflow area south of Commercial Blvd connects those fans to the Fan Zone on match days.
Purchase passes in advance through the official link on Inter Miami's match day transportation page.
How far is Chase Stadium from downtown Miami?
About 25 miles north on I-95, typically 30–40 minutes off-peak. On a match evening, plan for 50–70 minutes from downtown Miami once I-95 north of the Golden Glades interchange and the Commercial Blvd exit back up. From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), the stadium is about 5 miles — roughly 10–15 minutes outside of match-day congestion, making FLL a much easier origin point than MIA for groups flying in.
Do I need a parking pass for a charter bus at Chase Stadium?
All on-site lots require pre-purchased passes. For a private charter bus or party bus, your group arrives in one vehicle — but the commercial vehicle staging arrangement for your specific date is confirmed as part of the booking rather than using the same lot-pass system as individual cars. For current guidance on oversized vehicle access, review the official match day transportation page before your event.
What is the best approach to Chase Stadium on match days?
From Miami: I-95 North to Exit 32 (Commercial Blvd West), then to your lot access road. The Yellow Lot north approach via Cypress Creek Blvd and NW 10th Terrace avoids the Commercial Blvd directed-traffic queue. Remember: right turns only from westbound Commercial onto NW 15th Avenue.
Build in extra time from Miami — match evenings on I-95 between Golden Glades and Exit 32 can add 20–40 minutes beyond any off-peak estimate.
How much does a party bus to Chase Stadium cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, total hours (including the Miami-to-Fort Lauderdale run, wait time during the match, and the return), and your specific date. To give you a planning baseline: a 25-passenger party bus runs roughly $275–$375/hour on weekends; a 40-passenger party bus runs $325–$500/hour. For 30 people splitting the cost of a party bus rental to Chase Stadium, that often works out to $50–$65 per person for the full round trip — no parking pass, no post-game surge fare, and no one drawing straws for who has to drive home.
Call 786-605-7460 or fill out the online form for pricing on your exact date in under 30 seconds.
How far in advance should I book a bus to Chase Stadium?
Two to four weeks works for most CF II regular-season matches and standard events at the venue. For playoff matches, special events, or dates near major South Florida weekends, book as soon as the date is confirmed — vehicle availability in the Miami and Broward network tightens fast for high-demand dates and the right-size buses go first. Call 786-605-7460 to check availability for your specific date right now.
What is the Brightline GOOOL Getter to Chase Stadium?
During the Inter Miami CF first-team era at Chase Stadium, Brightline ran GOOOL Getter specialty trains from Miami, Boca Raton, and West Palm Beach to Fort Lauderdale Brightline station, with a complimentary shuttle connecting ticketholders to the Fan Zone at the stadium. Post-game shuttles ran at 15, 30, and 45 minutes after the final whistle. With the first team now at Nu Stadium in Miami, check Brightline's specialty train schedule directly for current GOOOL Getter service availability at the Fort Lauderdale venue.
Can the bus wait during the match and pick us up after?
Yes. The bus is reserved as a block of hours, so it can drop your group near the gates, stage during the match, and be waiting at a pre-arranged spot and time when the final whistle blows — no hunting for a rideshare, no surge fare, no post-game scramble at the NW 12th and 53rd streets zone. Setting that post-game pickup window in advance is part of the booking process, not an afterthought.
