FC Dallas Hoses Girls Teams in Adidas College Showcase
Not because there were so many teams at Moneygram and insufficient parking that parents missed parts of games while spending 45 minutes+ looking for a parking spot.
But why the heck, especially in a COLLEGE SHOWCASE, does FC Dallas have some girls U15 teams playing 9v9 on smaller than regulation fields?
Did the TD not know the size of the fields when he put games on them? Did FC Dallas just sign up more teams than available regulation fields (it's all about the $$$)? Did they give those teams playing on 9v9 fields a discount?
Any boys teams required to play on smaller than regulation fields?
FC Dallas bill this as an elite college showcase tournament?
What a joke.

You should feel fortunate. Not everyone had as "great" an experience as you did.

Definitely not cool if they stuck U15s on a 9v9 field. I was out there for 2 matches -- Didn't see any 03s playing 9v9 and didn't have any trouble with parking, but you know me ... A glass half full type of guy and always seem to get lucky.
And I've mentioned this before, but it may just be too hard to believe -- FC Dallas Youth aren't the ones out there collecting $ at Moneygram ... City of Dallas.

It's just like the toll road paying double highway robbery. We get taxed and then pay a toll. Government waste to pay for their vacations to the Bahamas.

Well, BigEgo, you weren't too observant if you were out there on Saturday.
Games were being played on Field #19 for almost the entire day on Saturday.
I'm sure the teams playing on 9v9 fields and paying $400 per game thought they had a fantastic value and opportunity for a "college showcase".

And SoSy -- I used the back entrance and spent most of my time with the lowly US Soccer folk over on 5 and 8 so didn't see what was going on over at 19. In all seriousness, I am sorry to hear this ... That is bullsh.

AND.. Who collects the parking lot tax at Toyota? Wait.. Did the boys even have to pay for parking or did they have concierge service?
Last I checked, Frisco is out of City of Dallas jurisdiction.

I believe that'd be Scott Dymond up at FCD for this particular Showcase.

Re: FC Dallas Hoses Girls Teams in Adidas College Showcase
The girls are passionate about soccer, are huge supporters of soccer, spend their time and money attending FCD games/events at Toyota. There is a huge amount of money you could be giving up if the girls soccer community decides to boycott FCD and take their money and their talent to other clubs.
By your actions you appear not to care. I hope this isn't the case because having MLS in NTX is awesome. The decisions being made can potentially negatively affect your cause, your business, and the growth of soccer in NTX.
Insight into actions would be appreciated so we can figure out how to equalize opportunities moving forward

Don't expect a response - to that or the question why U15 teams were playing on 9v9 fields.
