You are conflating multiple issues here.

An investment group own the VRSC facility. They have a lead/managing investor whose child plays for the club.

Loudoun County owns the land at Segra Field. Loudoun United is a tenant and operates the stadium. Any club can rent the field through Loudoun United.

Loudoun Soccer does not have exclusive use of Bolen. Field space is controlled by Loudoun County and is allocated based on player registrations.

Loudoun Soccer has had some rec matches at Segra.
What is the status of the two new Bolen turf fields that are attached to United's facility?

Player registration my ass. It's because they pay to play, or more appropriately practice, there. If not lost on anyone that loudoun monopolizes many fields and yet uses others for their home fields. It's all about $$$

I think you're saying that Loudoun pays the county (or its employees?) for access to Bolen, but if that's your position I'm not going to convince you otherwise on a message board. It doesn't change reality.

Exactly my point. They strong arm others out of field space all the time. It is no big secret conspiracy. Talk to anyone running soccer programs around Loudoun and they have nothing positive to say about Loudoun soccer's practices when it comes to fields around the county. Money talks, it's not a hard concept to grasp in reality.

First - and speaking to the child's mother...it wasn't an attempted abduction.

A U11G Revolution player went into the main restroom, and a transgender woman was making a Tik Tok in the bathroom. The woman was not part of any soccer club and was trespassing. Her prolonged presence was awkward for the player. She did not feel comfortable.

Second - this message was sent by Revolution (on March 1):


Last night, an incident occurred at Revolution involving trespassing. We want to reassure you that the matter has been swiftly addressed, and law enforcement responded promptly. Your safety is our utmost priority, and we encourage you to remain vigilant - if you notice anything unusual, please don't hesitate to speak up.

As an added precaution, we advise that players accompany each other when visiting the restroom. We are also actively reviewing and enhancing our security measures internally, and we will keep you informed of any developments.

Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in ensuring the well-being of our community.

Third - AB is aware of the situation / message and has said that 1) he did not receive the email from Revolution and 2) it is too vague

So....why didn't AB follow up to get more info? A message should have been sent.[/quo
