Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 2925002, member: 153"] I find it interesting that US Soccer is making a huge push for artificial turf at the youth level. I suspect that they believe it will encourage teams to play more of a possession style. The problem with the Rhinos Stadium is that the WNY Flash were more popular for awhile, and they sucked the soccer dollars dry, and the Flash's owner even took over the naming rights for the stadium as well...and after he made his team the premier soccer draw in town (by signing Marta, Abby Wambach, and even Carly Lloyd played there for a while), he sold the franchise to North Carolina, and it left the stadium with one tenant.
