[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]County owns land and they lease it to the investment group. My question is why does only Loudoun Soccer get to use this field and the bolen fields?  [/quote]

You are conflating multiple issues here.

An investment group own the VRSC facility. They have a lead/managing investor whose child plays for the club.

Loudoun County owns the land at Segra Field. Loudoun United is a tenant and operates the stadium. Any club can rent the field through Loudoun United.

Loudoun Soccer does not have exclusive use of Bolen. Field space is controlled by Loudoun County and is allocated based on player registrations. [/quote]

Player registration my ass. It's because they pay to play, or more appropriately practice, there. If not lost on anyone that loudoun monopolizes many fields and yet uses others for their home fields. It's all about $$$ [/quote]

I think you're saying that Loudoun pays the county (or its employees?) for access to Bolen, but if that's your position I'm not going to convince you otherwise on a message board. It doesn't change reality. [/quote]

Exactly my point. They strong arm others out of field space all the time. It is no big secret conspiracy. Talk to anyone running soccer programs around Loudoun and they have nothing positive to say about Loudoun soccer's practices when it comes to fields around the county. Money talks, it's not a hard concept to grasp in reality. [/quote]

Again, fields are doled out based on numbers. If Loudoun has 95% of the players, they get 95% of the fields. If you don't like it, tell your directors to spend more on marketing. [/quote]
