SAS Soccer Park to Get 2nd Stadium Field?

With the new USL team coming to Cary and a busy 2006 schedule in the works at SAS Soccer Park, I'm hearing a rumor that the Town of Cary is considering adding permanent bleachers to Field 2 in order to make a second, smaller stadium field behind the existing main field. This smaller stadium field would benefit folks like the Raleigh Elite PDL team who could still take advantage of the world class pitches (Fields 1, 2, & 3 are all 120 x 75 yards and immaculately well kept) without the overhead of having to rent the entire main stadium. In addition to the added benefit of making the facility more accessible for smaller events, it would also preserve the pitch on Field 1 for the benefit of the USL team and other larger events hosted at the park. No word yet on when a decision might be made or when the new facility would be ready for use but the PDL season kicks off play on May 6th so they better get crackin' if they are serious about this for 2006.
