[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now we are in a fact free fear mongering zone which is no surprise but there has never been a proposal to build the pool in the middle of the field or to eliminate the soccer field at all - option two slightly shrinks the currently non-regulation soccer field ...  [/quote]

There is no such thing as a "regulation-size" soccer field. FIFA publishes minimum and maximum dimensions and length-to-width ratios, and US Soccer and state associations create standards for youth play. The current field is within FIFA and VYSA standards for size (DC is part of Virginia for the sake of soccer). None of the proposed fields meet FIFA minimums or VYSA standards -- they are too long for their width. [/quote]

No one wants to wind up with an itty-bitty soccer field at Hearst like you see at Hardy middle school.   Pathetically small.[/quote]

Fortunately that has never been proposed.[/quote]

One of the pool options shows a much reduced-size soccer field.  Given that the pool drawings, by DC's own admission, are not to scale, the resulting field is likely to be even smaller.  But it will be ok for the three year-old players.[/quote]
