Spring Game

[caneworld]

Won't have to rely on insiders anymore....

This is perfect, the high school stadium spring games were a joke. That's peewee BS. The Rock would be fine but there would be like 10K in attendance so it just wouldn't look full on TV or in tweets. This should be packed or close to it. Pretty cool idea.

 

[TallyCane]

It's possible HR said no. They have in the past. Hopefully, in 5 years, we won't need to do this any more.

Do we think the field might not be ready since the tennis tournament is 2 weeks prior?

I like it... Ive been to the new Lockhart and its amazing what theyve done with it.

Plus right in the heart of Broward ... Id expect a ton of prospects at this game

 

[Boarcane]

I like the smaller stadium idea. I hope it’s full… probably not, but it will be better than last year for sure. It was me, a friend and maybe about 1/2 the kids parents lol
There’s a LOT of guys not playing. So freshman are going to have fun

A joke to who? That "high school stadium" you talking about is Traz Powell and that stadium means a lot to Dade-County kids. The few kids I spoke to plus a couple Broward dudes even appreciated the game being there.

Love the new Lockhart. Went there for the state title games. Beautiful facility.

I hope they eventually spruce up the area outside of the stadium on Commercial Blvd, because currently there ain't **** desirable out there.

Any word on the rest of the spring schedule?

 

[blushrts]

I think the "attendance for the TV" optics is in play here. That place will be jam packed and it will look great on TV... The TV people dont need to know its only a 18k seat stadium. LOL.. HRS would make it seem half empty because its so big. I like the idea.

Yep, that's exactly why all the MLS teams that could built 20K ish stadiums. Looks better full than 25K in a 60K seat stadium.

Thank God, now the Broward and Palm Beach fans will be able to drive to the Spring Game. I was worried that we would put the spring game in Homestead, thus constituting a major "fvck you" to the northern fans and an alienation from which they would never recover.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I would argue this is a Mas owns the stadium thing.

 

[DTP]

The Beckham group did a really nice job renovating Lockhart Stadium. It was pretty neglected for a while. I like the idea of having scrimmages/spring games in different stadiums. It’s a unique experience.

Also, this is a much further drive for my Broward *** than HRS.

 

[CanesLifer2]

9 miles from my house and I’ve played there… I’ll be there!

 

[OriginalCanesCanesCanes]

Is this an optics thing in your guys opinion? Fill up the stadium more? Getting familiar with hard rock is important imo but if it’s televised more packed house will look a lot better.

it won’t be packed

I agree. People down here just don’t know what the traz means. Been there quite a few times, had kids participate there.

You really do try way to hard.

Since you went straight to your favorite reference Wiki-wiki, allow me to provide the actual public facing portion of the document of record that all parties, public and private, must adhere to:

So yes, I had thought the entire property had been absorbed by Inter Miami (e.g. Team Mas and others), but it was retained by CoFtL. With that said, the main point of my porst was he [Mas] has economic and socialization self-interests by hosting our Canes Spring 22 game at Lockhart (it will always be Lockhart **** it!).

Oh pray tell why one asks!!??

Well, considering he has defacto property ownership-esque responsibilities and authorities via the 50-year lease agreement. Those pesky details and all.


"...Crews at the site of Lockhart Stadium began the demolition of the stadium at an event that started just after 9 a.m.

After several officials, including new Major League Soccer team Inter Miami majority owner and businessman Jorge Mas, spoke to the crowd of supporters and others from across the area, a group of officials from the city and team pressed a ceremonial button and the destruction of the stadium started..."

Demolition Begins at Site of Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale

The stadium came into the national spotlight when it was the home for both the Fort Lauderdale Strikers in the 1970s and 1980s – as well as a second version from 2011 to 2016 – while serving as the home field for South Florida’s first MLS team, the Miami Fusion.

“...Under the terms of the 50-year agreement, Inter Miami will fund the Lockhart renovation project, at a cost estimated at $60 million, and will operate and maintain the site while the city retains ownership of the property..."

So no secrets anymore? They have worked so well the last 10+ years

Used to watch Dolphins scrimmages at that location. Back when there wasn’t any shade. Good times.
