Amazing but it makes a lot of sense. As you may know some of the Atlanta and Dekalb County schools share stadiums as well. But admittedly much bigger stadiums than what we saw between Carol City and Edison. It’s just hard to believe at first because of how popular football is in Miami. But schools are resource driven and many public schools in large cities lack the resources, and lack the talent which is always being courted by suburban public schools and private schools.

It also makes sense as you explained about the Haitian population and football not being a primary driver as it is at so many other Miami public schools. Atlanta would have a similar story except that none of the Atlanta Public Schools are good at sports. At least Miami has public schools teams that can compete and sometimes even win state championships. I don’t think at APS team has won any state championship in the 30 years I’ve lived in Atlanta.

Thanks for proving the background information.

What I’ve failed to understand for some time is why large corporations don’t buy significant naming rights & assist in constructing facilities in places like Miami & Atlanta that serve the community & multiple teams.

Actually, that's Carol City's stadium. @gogeta4 can likely confirm, but if Edison wasn't holding varsity games on their field, CC is the first public school with an on-campus varsity stadium. You would think Palmetto, the alma mater of some dude who's done alright for himself named Jeff Bezos, would have had one first, but, yeah.

Beach also has their own stadium by default(only varsity football program on the island) but it's not on campus. The shared stadiums in Dade are much larger than Carol City's. Venues like Milander, FIU North, and Harris Field can hold a few thousand people. Traz Powell can seat 10,000...
