Club Internacional de Fútbol Miami announced on Monday a proposal for a new training facility, complex and stadium in Fort Lauderdale at the site of Lockhart Stadium.
According to the release from the team, "the training facilities will serve as the training grounds for Inter Miami’s MLS team and will serve as the home to both its youth academy and MLS NEXT Pro. The training site will feature several regulation soccer fields and a training complex with state-of-the-art amenities."
Lockhart Stadium, opened in 1959, has had a long history as a soccer venue, with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers and Miami Fusion, among others, calling the stadium home in the past. The facility, however, has fallen into disrepair in recent years and is no longer an active venue.
