I was back out there Saturday for our 1st league match and I will say that the placed looked great. The fields were in great condition. Looks like they have also spent some of those $5 tournament parking fees on some new landscaping and signage around the complex. Razz

We were out there Saturday also for my son's game. The field was perfect! We played a couple of games out there in the Labor Day tournament and both of those fields were perfect also. I didn't pay attention to the landscaping or signage but I would gladly pay $5 to park and play tournaments on those fields.

Just don't make our boys play on the turf fields in 100 degree heat, please. Otherwise, yes, the fields are great there.

Yep that would be field 10. Saturday they had it spilt into two fields and had some really young kids playing on it. Looked like some rec league teams.

Considering that the fields are used daily by the FCD youth teams for practices, too, the fields are in pristine condition.

That tells us the club spends considerable effort and resources on maintaining the fields.

THIS JUST IN . All FCD youth will need to purchase new uniforms to reflect our alliance with Toyota . Advocare will now be a foot note stenciled across the back side of shorts and sweats ( Only to fall off after a few washes ) . Sorry for the $400 inconvenience but most of us are stupid anyway and will pay. WHY ? because you will. GO FCD!
