National Soccer Events, NSE, is running it. They run the former Puma Turf Cup, Ga Supercup on Turf, Cherokee Impact Cup, Alliance Cup and the Gatlinburg Spring Classics, the College Showcase at LakePoint in January, and few others in Eastern Tennessee.

They have 66 days or so to get it ready. I'm still interested to know if anything looks to be in the works out there. Site says "Phase 1" open in March w/ 7 turf fields.

someone needs to go to some reconnaissance work and share some photos of the piles of dirt and or current field status. Anyone have a drone, get it out there!

I drove by this area today and can report that nothing is happening.
With a little mowing and striping, you could have some grass fields on par with some we see here. But there is no turfing going on.

It’s like the money dried up or something. Part of the land that they had reserved for the baseball diamonds is being used for a new car dealership. They don’t even have their offices in the mall up yet.

Fowler park put in two turf fields in about 2 months. Now the weather was very uncooperative, but still...to get many fields ready in less than two months?!? Doubtful

Once US Soccer DA said no to the idea of having all the DA teams practice out of South Forsyth, since they weren't turf, it made sense to rev up the project of making all the fields at Fowler - turf...FG

So who then pays for the turf fields? It may make sense for UFA but doesn't the county own those fields? Did UFA have to request the county to turf those fields on an expedited basis? If so, I would imagine the county would want some compensation or lease/facility use agreement restructure to recoup tax payer money. Or was turfing the fields the plan for some time and the project get moved by a few months?

Doubtful The reason those fields took so long was because they had to redo all the drainage I wasn't thinking that 2 months was a long time. Especially given that we had more rain during that time than we usually do BY A LOT. I am just saying to set up a whole complex in less than 2 months is unlikely. From what sincsports says that tournament is supposed to be May 4-5. I don't see that happening in 5 weeks.

South its a the bottom of the county to turf because its only a soccer park.
