[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They need to expand the rec league first.  They can get creative with financials and charge zero for fields and lower the price, and raise prices for Barca and FCV.  Alternatively, if they have the money they can play a long game and kick out Barca and FCV and lower the value of their product.[/quote]

Does the field really change the value of the product that much? I mean, Evergreen does have the best facilities in the area, but would someone actually change clubs because the field changes? FCV also uses Bles Park fields which are grass not turf like Evergreen but still pretty decent. Barca has used Morven park fields in the past which aren't bad. I would imagine any field that Barca uses would also be pretty good. Point is I think you are putting too much weighting on field quality in choosing a soccer club. Of course, field location and travel time is a HUGE factor but it's not likely an existing team would make a significant geographic change and risk losing the bulk of their rosters[/quote]

It would depend on the quality of the fields.  Bles Park is nice, but Loudoun plays there as well, so FCV might not get expanded access.  However, isn't that 
Barca can't use Parks and Rec fields.

Evergreen Sportsplex is pretty far from Bles Park.  I could see people in Leesburg/Purcellville switching over not being at Bles.  I am in Ashburn, and I can get to Evergreen quite a bit sooner than Bles.  I decided against moving with a coach to challenge because he was practicing at Bles.
