When you step back to take in the view of the SoccerPlex’s nineteen superior Bermuda and Blue Grass fields, the first word that comes to mind is paramount. Each field is maintained at the highest level so that every time a player steps on the field they are entering their “Field of Dreams.” The fields are periodically rested, reseeded, and pattern mowed to ensure that each pitch is of professional superiority. Although standing back and looking at the venue is breathtaking, it doesn’t compare to the faces of the players when they step on the field to play!
