If a private company paid for round the clock use of a field the community used to play on, then there is definitely a problem - the field owner should have done its due diligence regarding community input. [/quote]

No, it's not round the clock use, it's a limited number of hours per year, and the school has first priority.[/quote]

It is round the clock. The fields are gone.  Softball? Baseball? Football? Gone.  The fields are now soccer stadiums.  There are two soccer stadiums.  
There are now huge stadium light poles all over the field. They are massive hazards to children running around.  The edges of the stadiums are concrete. Don't
fall there.  Play soccer or forget about using the playgrounds.

The stadiums are filled with silica sand a known carcinogen.  Don't create any dust, don't slide, don't inhale.

The stadiums are plastic and will run 30-60 degtrees hotter than natural grass.  Temperatures can reach 150 degrees well into late fall.  That's a permanent 24/7 change to what used to be a field a grass. [/quote]

How is this round the clock?

In exchange, MSI will have access to use these fields for a set number of scheduled hours per year for the next ten years, when they are not reserved for school use.[/quote]

So when do the fields revert back to natural grass that can be used for any outdoor activity?  Never.

They are round the clock soccer fields.  They have a dozen poles all over them and concrete edges for concussions.  [b]JWMS students better love soccer. They can't play anything else in middle school. [/b][/quote]

Why not?  Just because they are soccer fields doesn't mean nothing else can be played on them.[/quote]
