First let me say, driving down to lovejoy vs statesboro was 100% better. Props to georgia soccer to moving the final 4 somewhat local.
But would question, the use of lovejoy, fields weren't in great shape for academy cup, but some were really bad on Saturday. bumps, divots, uneven, fields slanted downward etc.....
And the biggest issue I saw was the fields were way to narrow.
go to the mexican league telemundo tournament in june and compare. That little tourney is light years beyond state cup. Coke is/was a huge sponsor, water and powerade stations all over the park for non players. Well run.

Fields were horrible. Too narrow and uneven I get that they need one venue for multiple games but McCurry is a better option.

GA soccer gets a plus for moving it from statesboro.
Lovejoy: No traffic control to speak of. toilets out of paper, soap.
Fields were in poor shape but that affected all teams.
GA soccer needs to get its marquee event in better order.
grade:C

Fields were in bad shape at Lovejoy for the Academy cup. Too many good venues available to waste time playing a quality event at crappy fields.

Disappointed-
Shared use field led to minimal parking with other events taking place. A tow truck was stationed to the entrance Sunday as not so subtle reminder.
No Parking assistance- tournament reps were not clearly identified (vest/orange shirt/anything to stand out).
Fields were in terrible condition- goal lines were not clearly marked before each game which cost our team a goal due to a poor call.(verified in video)
Overall, if you're going to host championship events, they need to be treated as such- this had the feel of a preseason tournament.
