Home venues in Ticket Timeline's game data
Buildings the Fusion called home in the attendance data Ticket Timeline uses—useful when an old ticket's city does not match the club name on the stub.
- Final home: Lockhart Stadium (1998–2001), Fort Lauderdale, FL — the Fusion's only home despite the Miami name; soccer capacity was about 20,000.
Coverage in Ticket Timeline's game data starts in 1998, the Fusion's inaugural MLS season. The club was marketed as Miami Fusion but played every home match at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, about 30 miles north of Miami.
Lockhart Stadium is not a rename of a Miami venue—the Fusion never played a home match in Miami proper. Fort Lauderdale on your stub is the correct city.
MLS folded the Fusion in January 2002 alongside the Tampa Bay Mutiny—two Florida clubs contracted on the same day. The Fusion won the 2001 Supporters' Shield with the league's best regular-season record, then ceased to exist months later. Preki and Alex Pineda Chacón, the 2001 league MVP, led that final season.
Miami Fusion hosted MLS matches at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA, from 1998 to 2001. Dates for those nights are anchored in Eastern time. The building list above is what Ticket Timeline uses when an older ticket names the stadium.
