Security around Messi and Inter Miami has been increased since the global superstar arrived stateside last month.
Updated security measures were put in place at DRV PNK Stadium, Inter Miami’s home in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
The Red Bulls plan on a 25 percent increase in security for a match expected to draw 20,000 fans or more, and de Grandpré said there would be a 50 percent increase in security at field level. “We know fans love to jump on the field and get close to Messi sometimes and we’ve seen it before,” de Grandpré said. “We’re going to try to mitigate that by adding a lot of folks around the pitch so we keep everyone secure.
The match Saturday will be Messi’s fifth MLS game away from South Florida, but unlike the others he has played in so far, the atff at Red Bull Arena have experienced Messi Mania before.“Because we’ve had Messi here before with Argentina, we’ve managed the security and the building, getting to the building before,” de Grandpré said.
