Yes, I came to the same conclusion as I stood on a concrete walkway watching my dc play through a fence. The design choices only make sense if you were trying to maximize rentable space at the expense of everything else.

Were you behind the goal?
All the side fences are waist high and no fences on the grass fields

why would anyone design a field where parents have to STAND UP on a concrete path to watch an entire soccer game? That's completely absurd.
Why aren't there benches for the players? Why aren't tents allowed? This place is miserable.

Based on conditioning, many parents can't stand half a game on perfect grass

State Cup has player benches
What tournament didn't?

The tournament we went to did not allow tents in the team bench area, and also did not have any "team benches". THe kids sat on the ground, nowhere for the coach to sit. Parents had to stay behind a fence and either stand, or sit and watch through the fencing. It was crappy. Also there was NOT enough parking.

Why would anyone want to stand up to watch a soccer game?

Will crisis therapy be available this week for the kids and parents?

Legs aren't made for standing except to go to the refrigerator and bathroom

Its really inconveniently located from Virginia and once you get there, you wish you were somewhere else.

Sadly, they aren't going to the bathroom at this park, because it only has nasty overflowing Don's Jons.

We can tell you are the same person who keeps posting about how great the field is, based on your syntax and punctuation.

Are you kidding me? I never sit unless it's a great bleacher view from up high

It's equally inconvenient from DC.

Not sure why people complain about the parking. There's also all the industrial park parking around the fields.

OMG people.

Sure, the bathrooms aren't ideal, but these are nice turf fields - a million times better than Muldoons or Covenant park or having tournaments where each game is at a different high school across the county.

Is it the soccerplex? No. But the fields are decent and all together.

+1 DS thinks the fields are good enough at Liberty and has some strong opinions about other fields. That’s the only criteria I care about - whether the field is good and not going to cause injuries .
