Yes, I came to the same conclusion as I stood on a concrete walkway watching my dc play through a fence. The design choices only make sense if you were trying to maximize rentable space at the expense of everything else.


Were you behind the goal?
All the side fences are waist high and no fences on the grass fields


why would anyone design a field where parents have to STAND UP on a concrete path to watch an entire soccer game? That's completely absurd.
Why aren't there benches for the players? Why aren't tents allowed? This place is miserable.


Based on conditioning, many parents can't stand half a game on perfect grass


Why would anyone want to stand up to watch a soccer game?


Only lunatics do that

Legs aren't made for standing except to go to the refrigerator and bathroom


Sadly, they aren't going to the bathroom at this park, because it only has nasty overflowing Don's Jons.


Been there for multiple tournaments with 3 kids. Never seen this


We can tell you are the same person who keeps posting about how great the field is, based on your syntax and punctuation.

Its really inconveniently located from Virginia and once you get there, you wish you were somewhere else.

State Cup has player benches
What tournament didn't?


The tournament we went to did not allow tents in the team bench area, and also did not have any "team benches". THe kids sat on the ground, nowhere for the coach to sit. Parents had to stay behind a fence and either stand, or sit and watch through the fencing. It was crappy. Also there was NOT enough parking.


Will crisis therapy be available this week for the kids and parents?

We didn’t like the lack of restroom facilities but to be fair, this is a complaint at many fields. I don’t understand how bathrooms are not a consideration when these places are built. I’m tired of having to leave fields mid-game and drive to a business with a bathroom. And what about the players? But I digress. I think the park is no better nor worse than many places. It’s not a place I’d choose but it gave us an excuse to visit Annapolis.


ITA, especially for teenage girls dealing with tampons etc. Ridiculous and gross not to have bathrooms and sinks for hand washing.


Like Muldoon Farms nice bathrooms


Yes, this field is a terrible experience, just like Muldoon. Agree!


Let's start by comparing the parking at both

Then let's compare the quality of fields at both

The use of portojohns which is common at many sporting events makes the whole facility terrible?


OK, so I think we've established that this person definitely is involved with the ownership of this crappy field complex! No one else would care that much.

Yes, use of portapotties is a HUGE negative. How is this difficult to grasp?


It's a negative, even with some portables being much better than others.

So are solid bathrooms negative at tournaments and games not maintained and are a disaster by noon on Day 1

Oh goodness, with the $$$. pouring in from the tournament fees, a custodian could be on site to keep things tidy.


PP referring to fields anywhere
