I'm not sure you are right about that.

1. Mary Cheh is a former Stoddert Soccer official and will do anything they ask. For instance, she wanted to put the put the pool on the field until Stoddert told her not to.

2. I think Stoddert would want turf because - if history is precedent - that field will be a mess within a couple of months. [/quote]

There was never a serious plan to have a pool supersede a regulation size field at Hearst. There were some early schematics that showed a smaller field, but the pool was always going to go where it is.

The field should have been turf, but the doggie lobby wanted grass. It's a shame for the amount of money being spent to have it be a mud bog again by September.[/quote]

You are absolutely 100 percent wrong. The initial plan was to put the pool on the field. The debate was where it would be placed on the field.  I was at a meeting at the DC public library in Chevy Chase where Mary Cheh endorsed putting it on the field on the side closest to Phoebe Hearst School. She liked that idea because it was the furthest location from some houses on Quebec St. There is no dog lobby. Dogs are not allowed on the field.  It was Stoddert lobbying Cheh - a former Stoddert official - that got the pool moved to the upper area. You know that. The pool is in the right place now. The field was saved at the expense of a couple of tennis courts. [/quote]
