| Aug. 30, 2017 NYGNYY 215 posts | Rocky Mountain Fields I want to thank everyone that helped put together the Rocky Mountain this past weekend. I am sure a lot of hard work and effort went into making it a successful weekend. Scrap Iron was well represented and we appreciated everyone that traveled to the Denver area to participate. My only disappointment was the fields. The infields were like concrete all weekend. Players were taking balls off their arms and legs. They tried watering them and the sprinklers just couldn't keep up. Last year wasn't any better. Has anyone in SSUSA considered moving this tournament to Colorado Springs? They have a 6 field complex that are all turf, 300' fences and right next to the airport. I believe 6 fields can accommodate this size tournament. |

While I never played outfield, never saw the wierd hops, but then only played or observed at the C complex. Having 12 fields, I know they even moved up some of the championship games to accommodate both teams. First time playing in Denver area, and hope that regardless of the fields, this area can be host to more SSUSA venues. The new neighborhood that one of the host hotels, Fairfield inn was at, had a ton of new dining and shopping...super place for a tourney. It was nice having so many soccer fields for bp at the Aurora Sports Complex and we liked the longer fences that kept defense at a premium. |
