[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Easy solution have every MoCo club that uses Muldoons add 2 additional roster spots for each team in the entire organizations. Take those two spots fees on average $2k per year and dedicate it to put quality turf or grass on the farms add in 2 more tournaments with all proceeds going as well and  over a 3-5 year period should payoff  the fields.

You're on the right track but you're numbers are probably an order of magnitude low.

It's amazing to me that otherwise intelligent people don't seem to be able to grasp the fact that athletic fields cost money. Good fields cost a lot of money. If you look at what field time costs, how much field time a program needs, and what parents are willing to pay, for the most part youth sports programs are not sustainable unless they have someone else footing the bill for their fields. That someone else is usually the local government.

If you live someplace where the local government is unwilling to pay the cost of providing facilities for youth sports -- or more specifically, your sport of choice -- then the choice is going to be playing on poor fields or not playing at all. [/quote]

Back to my nimby comment. There is A LOT of money in MoCo. It is likely however that in the eastern part of the county no one wants fields, parking, or lights in their mansion’s backyard. So fields get pushed to Poolesville. It is what it is and it won’t change because the people in the county are who they are. Your choice is to invest in better fields (either via county funds or private ones or a mix) or play on crappy ones (or not play). Either change your choices, or just live with it. [/quote]

You're overthinking things.
Property around the Bethesda area is EXPENSIVE, and a company like BSC can't compete with developers willing to pay a fortune for any empty land. [/quote]

You do realize that BSC’s Office is in Gaithersburg, right?

It would be great, but highly unlikely, if Potomac, BSC and MSI teamed up with Rockville City or MoCo to build a SoccerPlex in the Rockville area. It’s being debated to convert the failing Redgate Golf Course into a soccer faculty but there are issues with funding it [/quote]
