| In 1970 Floyd
Hull stadium was built to host the Big League World Series and provide
fields for the local Federal League program. Floyd Hull Sr. ran
the Big League World Series and the field itself. The stadium was
know in those days as "Liitle Yankee Stadium". But soon
there after the Fort Lauderdale City Commision renamed the stadium
Floyd Hull to honor the volunteer that was instrumental in the building
of the stadium. At first the stadium had a concession stand that
was two floors (it is now three) there weren't covered bleachers
or a grandstand behind home plate and the press box was not located
on the first base line. Since 1970 the stadium has undergone many
changes and is one of the best stadiums in Broward County.
From 1970-1997 Floyd Hull stadium
hosted the multi-national Big League World Series. Some of the players
went on to excel in both the college and pro ranks. The series provided
a lot of exposure for teams that were from outside of the United
States. The American teams that participated were: North, South,
East, West and the host Broward County team. International teams
included: Far East, Europe, Central America, Canada, Puerto Rico,
Venezuela.
