Speaking on Tuesday, Mas confirmed the Fort Lauderdale sight is coming on well ahead of the home opener on March 14.
“Eight months ago people told me you would never get this finished,” said Mas. “They told me there was no chance. But here we are, this stadium will be completed for our home debut on March 14th.”
