Good grief.  They already have several soccer fields.  How many fields do you need?  Carson has a baseball field.  They do need a stadium.  But, that can wait and they can use one from other schools for a while.
There are also park fields nearby.

Do you have any idea how little space Chantilly has?[/quote]

The issue is, there's not nearly enough parking. So they'll need to figure that out and if you look at google maps you'll see the only place to add parking is where the soccer field is, so they'll need to tear that up. Unlike Chantilly they are surrounded by residential housing. There's a little wooded area, not sure if it's protected. How much do they need? Baseball (regulation size), softball, tennis courts, track and field, soccer, football stadium, and most schools have an extra auxiliary field or LAX field. I realize in the short term they can go somewhere else but long term I don't see that all fitting[/quote]

It doesn't matter what someone says, there will be the next issue.

They bought the school. The people I know pushing to delay opening are

I know parents who are choosing to opt out and attend the current school. They want the sports and the theater and the community that they know.

I know parents who are choosing to opt in and attend the new school. They are fine with the ambiguity and the fact that the experience is going to be different but are excited by the opportunities.

And then there are the people who keep finding issues that they are worried about because they want to stall it for whatever reason. None of those reasons seem to have anything to do with the actual school and everything to do with being afraid of what the new school might mean in 5-10 years for their current school.
