As of today 1/16/2013 the Baltimore Blast will no longer practice at Du Burns arena they lost the Lease with the city I am told they will now Practice at 4021 N Point Blvd, Dundalk, MD For the remainder of the season ..
here is the real story A new management company is tasking over Du Burns Arena . And the Blast are moving to new office space and team is practicing at NEARC Perring Parkway Not to Dundalk MD
Amy Keller Director of Public Relations is leaving the blast she will be at the rest of the games and then she will be taking on a new job
Duburns was not sold ... the City has a New Management Company taking it over that is all Baltimore made a deal with a company to mannage 50 rec centers and pools for the next 5 years they dont have any room to expand duburns arena to add 2 futsal fields The city looked at the cost to expand duburns and put a 6K seat arena there for the blast untill a brand new arena could be built and it just could not be done .
If you take away the boards and the glass, you could easily fit two futsal fields in that area. Do you know what a futsal field is?
It sucks so bad that it is played world wide and the USA currently is not even in the rank of the top 25 in the world. And that there are womens and mens national teams. Or the fact that Futsal places are popping up all over the place. http://www.fifa.com/futsalworldcup/index.html Gee Futsal is so terrible that FIFA has a website with a Futsal World Cup . So I guess it sucks so much that all those people would be idiots eh?
I like futsal, but I understand why some people don't. It's a matter of personal taste and opinion.
Futsal is basically outdoor soccer indoors on a small field. Slow and boring. I think that alot of people on this site are not big fans of futsal. Gimme walls.................................
The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces. http://www.futsal.com/ Tell that to all the MISL players on the US Futsal team and then have a discussion with Coach Tozer about your opinion on the sport. Go tot hat website and check out the picture they have on the top of it U.S. Futsal, has been Governing the sport of Futsal in the United States since 1981, and has been sponsoring state, regional and national tournaments since 1985. U.S. Futsal, is the only futsal organization directly affiliated to U.S. Soccer!
Contrary to unpopular belief, this is not a futsal board. I would have to also say I'm in the futsal sucks camp. But I also dislike outdoor soccer immensely. And MPS.
Futsal is only good when played by the best in the world. It feels like field hockey to watch if the players aren't top notch. And yes.... This is not a futsal board but it is ok to talk about every now and then!
A place opened up near me and I went and watched some kids my son knows and it was a quick game and kind of fun to watch but I knew the kids playing
