Rolling Hills Field Conditions

Always so proud when our city puts its ugliest foot forward.

There is so many great facilities in NTX, I just get why you would select Rolling Hills. Toyota park is the perfect place to handle this caliber of event.

You are in one of the crappiest and poverty areas of the metroplex. You have the Federal pen as your neighbor along with a less than desirable area called Forest Park. BTW, there is 150 registered sex offenders in that single zip code of 76119. Don't let your kid out of your sight for her safety.

Fields are bad...

We played a few games there in the Fall (when ECNL came out to inspect the place) and they were actually very nice in the Fall.. What did the City do with the ECNL money? As of last weekend, they had not seeded, mowed, or rolled the fields. Fingers crossed...

I don't know what everyone is complaining about.... I took this pic yesterday of some kids practicing on the fields in Fort Worth.

Grass looks good, the wall is high enough that the FWU coaches can't 'scout'....

no problem!

If you're lucky enough to play on the northernmost fields and the winds are calm, you might be fortunate enough to enjoy your tax dollars at work. The federal prison band plays a great mix of 70s classic rock and 90s alternative music and will have your toes tapping no matter how bad the calls are on the field. So kick back and sing along to all your favorites from Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and The Doobie Brothers. Don't leave early or you might miss the grand finale -- Eric Clapton's "Cocaine".

4 out of 5 stars.

Positives:
The NASCAR size merchandise stand was an improvement over the airstream dinky thing at other events. Food Trucks were yummy. Wind too strong to hear the band play but maybe tomorrow. National Guard giving out t-shirts and water bottles again.

I over heard City of Fort Worth employees out talking about how to improve the fields (tried to over seed but it did not take in the compacted middles).

Plenty of 5-0 presence to keep the critters away.

Not Reach in Phoenix, but can get close to Seminole in Sanford with work. Horse farms in Seminole more pleasant to gaze at when compared to triple deep cyclone fence.

Select Restaurants along I-20 for your dining pleasure:
Luby's
Denny's
Captain D's
Taco Bell
Chicken Express
Taco Casa once you turn on Wichita

Nice write up, ill put my AR-15 back in the house.

I noticed several befuddled folks in stripes mucking up some otherwise decent soccer matches, but once I realized they were actually escapees rather than real refs, it all started to make sense.  

Good luck to each of them as they continue their efforts to escape justice.
