Inter Miami's DRV PNK Stadium (pronounced Drive Pink) in Fort Lauderdale has a capacity of 18,000 people, a far cry from the previous home stadiums of the Argentine.
FC Barcelona's Spotify Camp Nou, the largest stadium in Europe, can hold up to 100,000 people. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain's Parc de Princes can seat more than 47,000.
