Yes and no.

da Vinci field hearkens back to the FVC days. The area used to be some of the FLL pits, as I recall, but when FVC (now FTC) came along it was designated as da Vinci field. It had 2 fields on it, if I recall correctly, for the pilot year; I don't remember later years.

When FTC needed divisions, da Vinci field was split into the Edison and Franklin fields/divisions, much like FRC's Archimedes/Curie/Galileo/Newton split (when it happened--that's before my time, but as I recall divisions rotated between fields, including Einstein).
