Lockhart Stadium was a stadium used mostly for soccer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States. It was used in a variety of sports, particularly soccer and American football. Originally designed in 1959 for high school sports, the stadium's long-standing soccer connection began in 1977 when it became the home venue for the original Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the original North American Soccer League (NASL). In 1998, it was refitted for soccer to house the Miami Fusion in Major League Soccer, but the team folded in 2002. It was also the home stadium of the Florida Atlantic Owls football team from 2002 to 2010. Later it was the home of the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the second iteration of NASL from 2011 to 2016. The stadium site was redeveloped in 2019 and 2020 with the construction of DRV PNK Stadium for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami CF.

Cruz Azul v Inter Miami CF (2023 Leagues Cup)
Cruz Azul v Inter Miami CF (2023 Leagues Cup)

On July 21, 2023, two professional soccer clubs, Cruz Azul and Inter Miami CF, played against each other in the 2023 Leagues Cup group stage at DRV PNK Stadium, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States. This game garnered significant global media attention due to the official debut of Argentinian player Lionel Messi for Inter Miami CF, alongside his former Barcelona teammate Sergio Busquets. The game ended with a 2–1 won for Inter Miami, thanks to Messi's spectacular free-kick in the fourth minute of stoppage time (90+4'). After the game, Inter Miami CF went on to win against Atlanta United FC, securing the top spot in South 3 group with a perfect 6 points, ahead of Cruz Azul with 2 points, and advancing to the knockout stage. Inter Miami CF then successively defeated Orlando City SC in round of 32, FC Dallas in round of 16, Charlotte FC in quarter-finals, and Philadelphia Union in Semi-finals before winning against Nashville SC on penalties in the final to claim the championship. Cruz Azul was eliminated in the Round of 32, losing to Charlotte FC in a 0–0 draw but lost 3–4 on penalties. This victory marked the beginning of a series of subsequent successes for Inter Miami CF since Lionel Messi signed in 2023, including their first MLS Cup title in 2025. Thanks to Messi's influence, viewers in the United States began paying more attention to soccer, a sport that wasn't previously the most popular in the country.
