Help UTD get lights!
by coachr 11/09/12, 10:11 am
Word is that UTD is considering putting up some lights. I use LED lights now at my house because they draw less mosquitoes. If you know somebody up there let em know you want lights but not ones that are going to get all of us west nile.

LH is in charge of the soccer area lighting. If we pressure them then maybe we can avoid the cheapest lights that attract the most bugs aka skeeterscoachr wrote:More lights everywhereLawnboy wrote:Last time I was at UTD, they had lights.

So you are willing to have you dues increased so you can have LED lights in a facility that you use maybe 15 times per year? I would rather have more parking, a paved lot and an entrance that doesn't require an illegal u-turn. Please remember that LHGCL doesn't own any of the fields they play on

All the stuff you just mentioned is happening. It's a Richardson/utd/LH CoOp. If LH pushes utd to chip in then they might because it's richardsons cash funding most of it. Google the school and "managed projects". You'll see why your dues don't have to go up.bronxdad wrote:So you are willing to have you dues increased so you can have LED lights in a facility that you use maybe 15 times per year?

I think goal line technology should be considered a much higher priority.

You two are both nuts.

Everybody (coaches, managers, parents, players, brothers and sisters...) would be given 1 challenge flag for each game. We could have a 9:00am game and make an entire day of it. We could even expand halftime for everyone to take a break for lunch, refill water bottles, and air the balls back up.
And doing webcasts would be so much easier.

I would end up "accidentally" beaning a ref with my flag and therefore ruin it for everyone.bigtex75081 wrote:You two are both nuts.

If Gus were here he'd pitch in to get good lights. He was a philanthropist!
