Miami FC plans on calling Lockhart Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., home for the 2010 USSF Division 2 season. It will be yet another attempt by pro soccer to make a go in Broward County after failing in Miami.
Traffic Sports, the owner of the USSF Division 2 team, wants to play at Lockhart and develop a soccer academy (Traffic and Strikers Football Academy) and soccer facility at the site of the old spring-training baseball stadium next to Lockhart, where Miami FC averaged about 1,500 fans a game for four games in 2009 -- more than the small crowds it drew at FIU's football stadium.
"We've considered the opportunities in Fort Lauderdale and we're going to do what others have tried," Miami FC President Aaron Davidson told Jeff Rusnak. "We've applied for the [Fort Lauderdale] Strikers trademark and we have the potential to build a major soccer training
site."
