Well the season doesn't start till next April soo Rawlins and co. have plenty of time ta finally make a decision. But House Park is the fan favorite, and of course if hell froze over we might end up playing in Meyers. But really their is no word, as of yet.
Man, Both of those stadiums would be great for you guys. House would probably be better unless you show that you outgrew it. Still, can't wait for next season.
Out of all likely hood it should, and will be, House because University of Texas is such a Banal lot when it comes to even the mention of a thought related to "renting a UT facility. Rawlins and Co: Can our knew, professional, local club rent your field for one day of the week, until we can build our own Stadia. UT Athletic Depart: F**k off ya vandals (huddles over the state of the art turff) your scaring our fake grass.
Well scuse the crap out a me . And let me rephrase the Ut Antheltic Dpt. response. UT Athletic Dpt: No you can not rent it this next spring, even for one day, because that one day you speek of, Saturday, is when we have our UT Athletic Staff putt putt tournament practice, (insert haughty laugh).
This club must have a lot of cash to build multiple "stadia," most teams have the need to build just a single stadium. Stadia, my friend, is the plural form of stadium. Not trying to be a smart-ass here. Just go ahead and call me the fancy-word police.
Huh well again, scuse the crap outta me. And as far as I know Rawlins and co. in the near future are going to try and build a Stadium, singular, for the general purposes of the Aztex squads. And the sooner the better I say.
Or maybe they will build stadia, one for the first division team, one for the PDL squad and maybe youth tournaments. Yeah, that's the plan...
Just a guess, but I would imagine that any purpose built facilities for the Aztex will include a primary pitch which will be used for matches, and senior team training sessions. Additionally, there would be an additional pitch that would be close that would be used for the Academy matches and/or training sessions. If the organization grows the way I've heard them verbalize, in 5 years they'll have USL1, PDL, Women's and at least one Academy squad. So figure matches, practice sessions, plus any potential revenue from renting out to other football organizations, 2 fiels would almost be a requirement.
I'd love to see a whole facility like Pizza Hut park in Dallas. I just hope it won't be as far out as Frisco is to Dallas. But 17 pitches? That would be outstanding. I agree, though that they should probably have 2 Stadia.At the very least, 1 Stadium and 1 or 2 extra pitches nearby. How's my spelling? (Please don't check my grammar!)
As far as I can tell, UT hardly uses that stadium. They apparently don't have a men's soccer team, anymore, either. Maybe they will be more open to leasing it now than they were a few years ago.
Wouldn't that be something. Edit: referring to Barbaro's comment. Hey, I'm a little behind here, gimme a break.
UT never had a men's soccer team. They've only ever had a rec/club team. If you're referring to Myers stadium, it's always ever been used the same amount since it was built. UT had a women's soccer team for a couple years before Myers was built. It was built for the soccer team and track. Primarily for that big track and field event in the spring that I've forgotten the name of at the moment. That being said, it's used more than Daryl K. Royal Memorial Stadium. I expect that the track is open to the student all other times, like Memorial stadium was before they got rid of the track there and added seats.
Well it'll probably never happen, but I was looking at some immages of myers on yahoo and in my own mind I saw "The Hearth" being right their in Section 1, the closest to the track and the pitch proper. And also can u guys just immagin the Tifo, and banners, we could be inspired to make by a stadium called "mike myers". Think spoofs on "Austin Powers" with Austin reffering to the city as well as the man.
Myers will never come into play. It took a lot to get the Erwin Center for the now extinct Wranglers. UT doesn't need the money. History, prior to Myers UT had a beautiful pitch where the bubble is now. As reference to how many fields it would take for certain things. Aztex build a Stadium, it won't be used for training unless they install field turf. However I could see some turf training grounds and a beautiful grass field for matches. So to begin they need 2 pitches, training and game. FYI, I heard this somewhere, it takes 4 acres of land to support a soccer pitch. Parking etc. So for a complex we are talking potentially 15-20 acres for all things. That is pretty hard to find for a good price in Austin. I do believe that Pflugervilleish, East Austin, Manorish hold the key to the complex woes. South Austin isn't an option.
Southern Pflugerville isn't too bad, but I know there is land in the 290/183 area that is probably workable. Nelson Field(Reagan HS) isn't a bad location but the stadium seats way to many. The stadium needs to seat or have ability to expand to about 8-10k and be either a complete rectangle or oval IMO.
