Beyond the lack of a second practice field, which would really only impact things if UConn added men's lax in the future, is the reduction in the soccer's stadium capacity to 4,000 (expandable to 4,700) from the original proposal for 5,500 and the current stadium's 5,100 capacity. That said, it should not be a problem with UConn averaging 3,500 per game in 2017 (#1 in the NCAA). I did tell my oldest son that UConn is getting ready for him to play for their baseball team. His second position on his team is catching and he had his first experience on a turf field last summer in a tournament in Jersey. Home plate was made out of a solid rubber block and the batter's box area was a rubber mat instead of dirt. it drove his nuts. He's not impressed, LOL. [/QUOTE]
