Surf Cup's Fate

Right! I think the other cities will follow suit

What makes you think that? City of Phoenix were one of the last to open fields over the summer, Scottsdale one of the first.

We will see, anything can happen. What happened today wasn't unexpected.

Surf Youngers - Scottsdale Soccer Complex - Girls & Boys
Surf Olders - Scottsdale Soccer Complex Boys / Reach 11 Girls (I'd assume there is a contingency plan for this)
If Scottsdale were to follow it looks like there would be a big problem.

No Reach 11 is a big problem. It has 18 fields, all under lights. SSC has 10 fields, but only 4 under lights. There are other fields in the metro area and Surf is not competing with any local tournaments. Logistically harder, but still doable.

Good info, thank you. So yes, Surf will need to find another venue to accommodate older Girls teams. Reach 11 is a large complex (15+ fields), so likely they will need to find several other parks in the metro area. It won't be as easy as it seems assuming other sports tournaments are scrambling now too (remember, it's not just soccer).

And this all assumes that Scottsdale doesn't follow suit. But with infections and hospitalizations skyrocketing--and a clear desire from the local medical community to shut these large events down--it's more than likely they will do the same. Let's see if we can find out the next Scottsdale City Council meeting date.
 
Question, as I don’t know the dynamics of AZ fields...

Why all the discussion of lighted fields?

Does Surf Cup traditionally utilize a lot of lighted fields? The Polo Grounds/Surf Complex don’t seem to utilize them (maybe temporary installations?, don’t recall seeing that) same as SoCal Complex in O’side.

if they get it done in San Diego without a large portion of lighted fields, why is that an issue in AZ?... honestly curious.

About 3 hours less daylight this time of year then when Surf Cup is typically hosted. Without lights, you’re wrapping it up by 530pm in AZ the time of year.

Hadn’t thought of seasonal effects on daylight.

Thanks for the reply!

They have one one the 7th - but not on the agenda. My fear is yes they have it and no parents can watch? Traveling from OC is hard to just sit in my car........
