He said the field’s location
is ideal since it is close to
Empire Stadium and to
players and staff of the club
who live on the North Shore.

result in “a deteriorated
surface that would not be
suitable for play by our own
local organizations for much
of their seasons.”

that all drills (running,
passing and defending)
would be evenly spread
across the field to prevent
“wear and tear” of the turf.

to offset District’s main-
