Alum to be polite and respond I will say you are misguided by your dislike for soccer. It is simple fact the soccer games attract anywhere from 25,000 to a full house. Many of the HS football games could not attract 5G. Again to be fair I will leave links also supporting field condition arguments which do not concern me as both teams are playing on the same field, just like in the rain or snow. It simply was not the main reason.To Medic: The reason was not money, it was the field. With turf you are guaranteed to play in Dec and safer for kids. It was not that they "were losing their shirts". Plus it's a state run facility. To Waquoit: hell fuggin yeah HS football trumps ANY soccer game.

I am not asking you or anyone to like soccer but do realize it is all about revenue as medic stated above. Same reason we have to pay $15.oo to park in a field. In support of your enthusiasm for high school ball I too hope it gets to the point where Arute Field @ 5800 is overwhelmed. Being a realist I doubt it comes in my lifetime....
