Metro United are the big winners. Many of the FCV players picked DA and the obvious choice for them now is to go there and build a strong program.

This could benefit Metro United too-heck of a lot closer to Loudoun county than Springfield!!

IDK, I live in Loudoun and have been there for several sports leagues since it opened on a regular basis. It's a nice facility, and if you carpool and use the flex lanes it's not really that bad. These are parents who are already committed to travel. I'm not sure how the daily practices will work though. Fine for games but everyday practice would be a little much unless there is a stay at home parent.

When are the Metro United / Great Falls Reston id sessions?

How is St James doing? Went on opening day and it seemed too big for demand, espeically given its location.

Way i see it is, travel will increase for some. Not going to make people happy.

LOL - That's a 2+ hour wide area. Too biggest counties in VA. Good luck.

That's a pretty broad area you might as well say practice could be anywhere in Northern Virginia be prepared

I don't care what month it is, any shift to Springfield is a game changer from a car-time perspective. We will not go 70+ miles round trip in rush hour traffic in any month.
