This is just a general observation on the field sizes for the soccer tournament.
1-all the games are played on turf and what happens with the final in Columbus—played on grass.
2-the vast, vast majority of the games on turf are played on extremely narrow fields. Not conducive to possession soccer and plays well for direct play. A state semi-final game was played on a field only as wide as the football lines! Needless to say it was a pinball game with many throw-ins, not pretty to watch.
3-where is the state soccer coaches association on making demands that ALL District thru State Finals be played on fields that are have least 70 yds wide. The Crew stadium field is 115x75.
4-HS soccer in Ohio needs to improve.
