Inter Miami Allow Select Fans Into Stadium For First Time

For last night's home match against Atlanta United, the "most passionate and dedicated Inter Miami fans -- 360 members of the official supporter groups -- were invited inside the stadium for the first time as a thank you for their loyalty during this tumultuous inaugural season." The fans, who "took over the North stands, belted out chants in Spanish." For the past "two months they banged their drums, set off pink smoke bombs, danced and sang their hearts out from behind the parking lot gates at Inter Miami Stadium" (MIAMI HERALD, 10/15).

Meanwhile, Minnesota United’s scheduled game last night against the Fire at Allianz Field was "postponed because of a suspected additional positive coronavirus test within the team." The club, in a news release sent 75 minutes before the scheduled 7:00pm CT kickoff, said that the postponement would "allow for more testing and evaluation." The Fire "arrived by chartered flight in Minneapolis" about 11:30am Wednesday, rested that afternoon at a hotel and returned home about 7:00pm (Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE, 10/15).
