from the Rochester story man... why would you build your own stadium then not put grass in it. Is it a consideration given the climate in Rochester, the rough winters? That just seems like a horriable thing.
Re: from the Rochester story Can fake fields be heated like modern grass fields are heated? Or does the rubber & plastic melt or just play poorly? I hate plastic.
I was just assuming that they might be doing it as maintaining a grass feild with the kinds of winters they have might not be cost prohibative or even possiable.
maybe another reason for the turf is the Lacrosse team...they wear down certain parts of the feild...along with weather and financial concerns....this may not be a bad idea... The newer turfs are getting more grasslike year by year anyways...
That's likely because he got to double-dip for the Tribune Corporation, who owns the L.A. Times and the Chicago Tribune, the latter running an edited version of the same story. Later, COZ
hey at least they ran that. everything else in chicago today was AP. that's pretty sad if you ask me.
That's just economics. Away matches in Chicago have gotten AP stories pretty much all season, because the papers don't want to send a writer. The Trib will sometimes hire a local stringer, and in this instance, they had a guy there already on their payroll. Later, COZ
True, but I was hoping the local papers might be picking up on the idea that the Fire has the best record in the league with only six games to go, and "hey, this might be an actual story brewing that we should cover." I know that the Chicago Sports scene is a little crowded right now with the Cubs and Sox doing well, and the Bears always a big story (even when they blow), but I think it is time they start to recognize that there is at least the POTENTIAL for something big happening that would merit a plane ticket and hotel room for an actual writer.
When I read the Tribune's version I noticed that the date for the Open Cup semi-final between LA & Chicago was Oct. 1. I said to myself, "What an idiot that Jones is." Now, reading the original, I must apologize. The idiot was whoever edited the story.
Re: Re: Re: from the Rochester story Bitter? Me? No, my friend. My team is getting a new SSS with real grass. Not until 2005, but so it goes. And if your little cowtown soccer club has decided that maintaining a grass field is beyond their capabilities, then why should I be bitter? But it amuses me that this is going down in SOCCERTOWN USA. You know, the place where the people allegedly know and care about soccer more than any place else in the USA? But when it comes to their soccer stadium, they'll let the wear and tear from other sports dictate what sort of field they're putting in. Ironic, no?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: from the Rochester story Why? As a cost cutting measure? Because of the climate? What's their reasoning behind the plastic?
