FCD Frisco has the best pitches, period. Now as far as other amenities go, they are average - with no shade for spectators.

But as far as the game goes, they have level playing surfaces, ability to shed/drain water quickly, great turf and sod conditions, very true goals, accurate field dimensions, square'd fields, nothing in DFW beats FCD's pitches.

Oak Grove is nice, if you like goals that are anywhere between 85 and 87 degrees upright and not plumb. Take your iPhone level app and stick it up to one of the uprights one of these days - you'll be blown away on how crooked their goals are. Plus they cement the goal posts in...huge risk for players.

- Nothing maintained by the City of Plano is worth playing on.

- Irving is hit and miss, with one of their pitches being the ABSOLUTE WORST pitch in DFW.

- 5 star in The Colony is nice, except for the massive bowls your DD will step into

- McInnish is a pretty good all-around place. Great shaded areas, decent playing surfaces, true goals, things to do for the kids.

1. Overall rating score.
2. Field grass or artificial turf. Maintained well?
3. Parking.
4. Number of fields appropriate for season and tournament play.
5. Concession/restroom facilities.
6. Spectator shade.
7. Wayfinding signage. Can you easily figure out field numbers?
8. Other amenities --- trees, nice practice areas, good night lighting for evening games, etc.
9. Use of field rules. For example ... are dogs allowed? If it looks like it might rain - do they close the fields, etc.
10. Any other comments. What is most important to you?

I bet your vote is "Colleyville Complex" since your Company designed it Smile

Ahhh...I forgot about Cox fields...they overseed those things nicely in the winter. No shade for parents though, unless you go over to the SouthEast corner.

If we're going way back when, in the running for worst was Church Road where LHGCL played U11 and U12's.

Rock hard, bare patches, very narrow and best of all, a 30-ft drop to a creekbed that took all errant touchline balls. When you "graduated" to U13, you got to go to Moss!!!

Richland college and Cox are both very nice. Worst fields is a tie between desoto grimes and kiest park. I had a game in desoto a few weeks ago and thought I was in a sand box. Apparently they use sand instead of soil and grass to patch up their fields.

Russell Creek is pretty friggin awesome of late. They've got anything at UTD beat by MILES, though Richland is still prob tips in my estimation.
