    I'm flying in for a few days and was wondering where I could find a game Sunday, March 17, in the afternoon. Anyone? There are two of us looking (one native Coloradan and me, coming back from Chicago) for game. We'll be in Denver. As Colorado generally has some hope of having clear and dry conditions, I'm hoping to bring my cleats. If there's only indoor, I'll bring those shoe instead. Thanks in advance.

    As soon as the ground is a little less like permafrost. Mr Chili was there a week or two ago and said it was like playing on uneven concrete. By mid-March though---should be playable, no?

    Lets hope so....But I'm in that park at least 3-4 time a week and it IS like concrete. Plus March is always Denvers heaviest snow fall month.....

    PS....need more gals for our Play Co-ed team and there is a new league at DSG as well.

    Actually, he meant February 17th, in less than 2 weeks. (I should know, he's staying with me!) If outdoor doesn't work, what about indoor games?

    Playing on mud that has hardened like concrete would be like most of our fields near the lake, where you know you're getting near the touchline because you start seeing blades of grass. In other words, that'll work!

    Is the ground in Washington Park clear of snow yet? I know a storm is scheduled, but if the park is covered now, there's no sense in bringing my (soccer) boots. Anyone know? Flying tonight.

    It was like 60 today. I'm sure its mostly clear.

    But we are looking at like, 4-8 inches of snow through Friday, so...

    (and it might be worth noting that the last time we saw snow, they predicted a trace, if any, and we got 5.5)

    Well, unless the ground is completely covered and the snow is really heavy, we'll still be out kicking the ball around this afternoon. This is Colorado after all- we can play in weather like this!

    Great fun today at Washington Park. Thanks to any and all who came out! I played horribly, but at least I played. Slava29 was able to notch two goals, so at least we contributed. Thanks again.
