“A whole lot, but a whole lot of rain in Nu Stadium… Electrical activity continues in the surroundings of the stadium,” he tweeted.
Inter Miami also confirmed the delay on X, stating, “We are under a weather delay at Nu Stadium. Stay tuned for more updates.”
Atlanta United similarly acknowledged the postponement, posting, “Kickoff at Inter Miami CF is currently delayed due to inclement weather… We will provide updates as we have them.”
There was no official word on a revised kickoff time at that point. With the forecast calling for rain through at least 9:50 p.m. ET, supporters could potentially face a lengthy wait before the two teams take the field.
