    Terribly drawn fields

    Looking at some of these fields from google maps satellite view is hysterical. For example, look at the grass fields for Cantiague Park.

        Don't look at the turf fields, look at the grass. Look at the boxes and see if they face each other. The second post shows it worse.

        I played on a field like that a few times as a goalie. Frustrating. The goals didn't line up and I'd be lining myself up with the other goal, and players are asking me "why are you standing there?"

        New rule had to be put in place: Two beer maximum when lining the fields.

          Our DOC does the lines himself rather than trust the carnie-like Park and Rec folks to do it. He's stone cold sober 20+ years :)

              It really is hard to do it well. Doing it well requires putting down the first goal line and carefully stringing lines to be painted. If done right it could take 2 people an hour.

              If you see a single guy with headphones on pushing a sprayer in a “straight” line, the field is guaranteed to stink.

                A squared + B squared = C squared is your friend.

                  You guys are all aware that the photos shown on google earth are not current photos right? Some of these photos can be 5-10 years old. Probably as old as you are...dummies.

                          Are you responsible for lining one of those fields; taking a tongue in cheek post way to personally "dummies" "dumb ass", what is the point with all of the hostility? Yes people who do your work, work hard, and are subject to limitations of the the tools provided, but still funny regardless.

                            If the lines were painted like yesterday, this would be extremely funny. Since the photos posted here from google earth are are all probably 5-8 years old...i just don't see the point... Capeesh?

                              I understand that 5 years ago all people had to work with were hieroglyphic's, an abacus and ground frankincense when trying to line fields and just did the best they can. Not something to be mocked at all.
