Have you been to this field personally? I grew up playing organized football and soccer there. The field never caused any issues. I actually liked playing there. Junior High football still practices there. When i played at Ironton all of our home games were there from 2nd grade to 8th. We only got ...

That turf doesn’t look too old and the life of field turf is around 10 years or so. We just replaced ours a year or so ago and it was around 10 years old. I never really understood why you didn’t have a soccer team. It is big at other area schools plus it benefits the football team for a kicker. I ...

I personally wouldn't let soccer be played there. Considering the correct lines are not on the turf. Seems like it would be unsafe for the teams kicking the ball around. Have we ever considered the thought that maybe, just maybe, they will put the lines on the field when the turf is updated next? O...

Yassss. Except American football. They should be relegated to cow pastures for such a dastardly sport. Now… you are going to hurt people’s feelings who think the only sport is football. They play in a palace that nobody else is allowed to play on unless you are granted access by the gatekeepers. I ...

There would be a few stadiums where they wouldn’t allow hockey to be played there either (football or nothing)!

Everyone has a right to enjoy the sport they love and be able to play it on a nice field or stadium turf. Yassss. Except American football.

Womp womp. Cry about it more.

I’m convinced these two are in love

Im just trolling him. I don't even remotely live in the area. This person complains about Ironton. I just say dumb stuff to get them going

It is always fun to troll someone every once in a while.

Yes a turf field looks fantastic under water

The best looking turf is when all students and teams are able to use a district resource rather than an uneven field with holes and no fence.

Nah… it will be worked out soon. Don’t you worry

Very unfortunate this is during the prime of soccer season. Doesn’t matter… it just shows what a field could look like at any time. A nice Turf field looks good all the time no matter the weather.

I get your argument that only heavy rainfall causes floods but it can and has happened during the Fall.

So a rain storm is a flood now? Can you please just find the “plenty” of documented floods in the fall? Isn’t every flood caused by storms??? We are having a flood now from storms. Just for your info, back in 2021 we had 4.42 inches of rain with floods in October. Just thought I needed to refresh y...

Are you taking about flooding rains in the fall?? Have you not ever been to a pouring down rain at a football game?? Didn’t you just lose a roof for storms last Fall??

Turf famously cannot be flooded. Very intelligent observation. Also, southern Ohio’s rainy season typically brings floods in the fall. These are great points! We would definitely have a problem if those big drainage systems don’t work on stadium turf multipurpose fields. A large rain can happen any...

How many area soccer/football fields are under water with the flooding and rains??? I have pictures of several area fields with water standing on them with all the holes and creeks nearby. As long as it doesn't happen in-season, annual flooding can be healthy for natural grass fields that are using...

Yes, there is usually one HS and one MS home track meet. You see also correct that they don’t have them under lights anywhere. It is just a few who are pulling at straws to try to divert the conversation of soccer and football facilities in the SEO region. You guys are dead wrong. Track meets are r...

The problem with schools that doesn’t have or unwilling to allow school sponsored teams play on available district owned facilities may be an issue across the state instead of just in the SEO region. I believe we may need to move to a larger stage so others can give us more direction and feedback. T...

Since public schools receive federal funding, they must comply to equal opportunities to all boys and girls teams. Title IX compliance must be across the board with all sports teams in a public HS. All K-12 programs must have equal opportunities and benefits of every other team in the district. How...
