June is here and the Heat’s season is over. The Panthers are done, too. Football is a few months away. Inter Miami should take advantage and pump its marketing arm into overdrive to get more fans at DRV PNK Stadium this summer.
After a dismal 0-4-1 start, the team is 5-2-2 during the past nine games (third best in the league over that stretch), playing entertaining soccer, and up from last place to seventh in the Eastern Conference standings, which would put Miami in the playoffs if they started today. They beat Portland, NY Red Bulls and Seattle, and tied Philadelphia on the road.
Despite the improvement on the field, 1 million Instagram followers and slick social media campaigns, Inter Miami attendance ranks last among the 28 MLS teams with an average crowd of 12,821 at its 18,000-seat home stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
