Brief midday Monday thoughts
This is going to be a short one. Better stuff is coming later this week. It may include the first post on this site not authored by me, which I am sure will be a refreshing change.
LouCity had the “grand opening” for The Fam on Saturday, but the turf looked well beyond its years. I don't know if this is a particular concern, and the pitch has to be better than playing at Slugger Field, but it looked like pretty significant sections had new sod.
The previous week there were problems with the corners. It's not even summer yet. This could be a thing to watch if there are continued issues with the field.
The sun was so bright for Saturday's game that the Memphis keeper wore a baseball cap in the first half, which I always find hilarious for some reason. Racing's match with Houston is scheduled for kick-off at 3:00 PM on Sunday, June 20th, so both keepers will have to deal with the sun at some point. Betos in a hat? The NWSL season will surely have many matches where the sun could be an issue. Many fine baseball caps are available in the team store.
Addisyn Merrick is back in training today. This is a bit of a pleasant surprise since the last word we heard from Coach Holly was that there was no specific timetable. I imagine that the training sessions are getting more intense day by day.
