Railroad Complex closed Wednesday, 2/24 (updated @ 1:46 pm)

Absurd.

How??? For what?? Was looking for to seeing you Mr. LonDrew . Absurd is right.

stupid decision.

We have been trying to play this same game since the 13th...rained out, snowed out-not sure what ________ "out" this is. Other than BS. Oh well, what can you do?

Same here!!! This is beyong absurd

Two points:

- Railroad or any business partner should not enter into an agreement if they cannot reasonably provide the service... They opened the fields 6 months too early in the Fall and now have a bad situation...

- LH has the most responsibility... They need to repair the relationship with PHP... They need to get back in at Richland... And they need to work with the dozens of High Schools located within the current field locations that have Turf Fields just sitting many weekends that would love some $$$

It rained heavy Sunday morning. All GLASA fields were closed Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, but should be dry enough for tomorrow night's game, if we continue to have sunny conditions this afternoon and tomorrow.

Don't forget there is rain forcasted for friday...

And Sunday!

Coach...with all due respect, appreciate the effort (as always) but I am not sure this helps. Even more disappointing is that the kids are all training tonight on our respective clubs highly coveted fields (arguably the most protected fields). Certainly, if these complexes are open, RR should have been playable as well.

Does anyone know of any soccer complexes that are profitable? Exclude the ones tied to a club, but complexes like Richland, UTD, Chinn/Chapel. I realize some are privateky owned others are city owned.
If the city of Irving turned the old Texas Stadium land into an elite soccer complex with 20 fields or more, could it eventually become profitable?

I doubt it. It would probably have to wait until they have rebuilt 114, 183 and Loop 12. And the people with the money to pay for select are largely migrating north, east, etc. (away from Irving). My DD has never been on a select or academy team with more than 1 or 2 others from Dallas or the adjacent suburbs (Garland, Mesquite, Irving). I think there would be alot of whining about the drive to Irving.

Maybe someone filed a lawsuit against one of the cities (Lewisville or Flower Mound), or maybe LHGCL or both if their kiddo got hurt playing on a wet field???

Seems like there is something more to this than just wet fields.
