I recognize some of the kids on the team, they sometimes work out at the fields where my kids practice. It is impressive they have 39 players on roster..... D.C. United-826521 - Premier (upsl.com)
https://www.acmilan.com/en/news/art...milan-academy-in-the-united-states-of-america Unclear if this will be a legit academy with real ties/pathways to the club or just a licensing deal where some youth club gets to use the AC Milan name. If it's the former, it could have an impact on DCU's academy.

Here's a ranking of MLS Academies, out of 26 teams. Detail in the link: https://www.ussoccercollective.com/mls/mls-academy-rankings
We have the best turf. That is why we can have a Monster Truck event on Monday. A concert on Tuesday, a wedding on Wednesday, a petting zoo on Thursday, a Spirit match on Friday, and still have the pitch in tip top shape for a DC United match on Saturday... We should be booking more events...
That's what the people are saying ..... - No-one ever questioned the quality of the turf at RFK - except maybe around that funky pitching mound there for a bit
there was a bit more than the pitcher's mound on the elevator that FUBARed the field after the city fell all over itself for beisbol: the turf seams caused by filling in the infield dirt track, the field never drained as well, and then they made the soccer pitch a trapezoid.....
Would everyone mind taking the pitch/turf discussions to the proper thread, instead of the Academy Thread. I was hoping to get a discussion started about the Academy, or lack thereof.
Damn. I wanted to point out that there is a "double header" tomorrow with a 2 hour break between games. I assume it's due to the lack of additional locker rooms.
I thought they fixed the locker room issue (added a 4th) so I assume this is a cash grab (unless they are allowing "in and out" privileges....)
