My Favorite and one time home for the Miami Fusion:

Lockhart Stadium

Capacity 18,500-seat facility located at 1350 NW 55 Street in north Ft. Lauderdale , Florida . This location, just west of I-95 and east of the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport places the stadium in the heart of the vibrant South Florida community. Approximately 250,000 people visit the stadium annually to view and participate in a wide range of activities.

Lockhart Stadium, with its intimate seating arrangement brings the fans close to all the action, and has been rated as one of the top ten venues in the United States in which to view soccer. The national teams from such countries as Brazil, Denmark, China, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, and Guatemala, as well as Team USA have played international matches in our stadium to rave reviews. The stadium is also used to showcase premier high and middle school sporting events including: the boys and girls State High School Soccer Championships, Broward County's All-star Football game, high school boy's and girl's All-star Soccer Games and the county's middle school soccer championships. The stadium also plays host to Florida Atlantic University's home football games.

The stadium is also frequently used for various non-athletic events including Easter Sunrise Services and commercial photographic and televising shoots.
