[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Washington DC metro area is in desperate need of more turf fields especially in Montgomery County. While soccer is becoming more and more popular for kids, I’m sure it would be very useful for other sports too. [/quote]

Yup...unfortunately, Montgomery County cares far more about business than quality of life. 
Every parcel of land big enough for fields is immediately directed towards developers to build a few more houses. 
One Rockville council member wanted to redevelop the dilapidated Redgate Golf course into a sports complex, and was basically laughed out of the building. [/quote]

Really?  How do we get them to change their mindset?

$$$

Real estate can pay a lot more.  To match it you'd have some really expensive soccer fields (i.e., fees that are really high to support the cost).[/quote]

While I agree with you regarding the high cost, Germantown Soccerplex successfully did it. Sure beats the wasteful land that is currently being used as Redgate golf course. MSI paid millions (~$5M) to MCPS to build turf fields at Whitman HS, Einstein HS & Julius West MS. [/quote]
