And supporters will be able to buy this grass. Clubs have been seen selling memorable items. But grass? This has quite surprised the supporters. Inter Miami has also announced the price of the grass.
On December 6 this year, Inter Miami won Major League Soccer. At Chase Stadium, they defeated Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 to win MLS for the first time. This trophy victory is undoubtedly important in the club's history, as it is their first win. On the other hand, with Messi as captain, he lifted the trophy.

Why is Inter Miami selling stadium grass?
All this time, they have shown Chase Stadium as their home ground and played there. From the 2026 season, they will play home matches at Freedom Park in Miami. They have built this stadium anew. So they have taken the initiative to put the memories of Chase Stadium in the hands of spectators. As a result, even if Inter Miami no longer plays at the stadium, its memories will remain.
However, grass will not be given directly to supporters. Instead, various products will be made with grass and sold. The list includes various types of key rings and gift boxes. Those who pay $750 will be given real grass.
Since 2020, Chase Stadium has been Inter Miami's home ground in MLS. The club's office is also here. When Messi joined the team, he first played at this stadium. Their latest success, winning the MLS Cup, was also at this stadium.
