My guess is some combination of Bruce Banner, Green Crack, Kosher Kush (we are NYC after all), and obviously Blue Dream.
Wait. What?
That's not what he meant?

Why do you care that I care in the slightest, let alone in the reddest, upper casest and boldest?
You don't need to answer, I don't care in the slightest why you care that I care in the slightest
Lol exactly - the incredibly hostile reactions to the reactions have been the most surprising. A few people make a few critical remarks and all of a sudden the rest of the forums start defending this building like they'd take a bullet for it.

I guess in some ways I'm jealous that there are people in this world that have so little to worry about that they can get worked up about the aesthetic of a training facility they will likely never visit and how that aesthetic reflects poorly on their team and thus themselves.
Not saying I never was that person -- just wistfully remembering a simpler time...
Contrasted with the really green grass on the fields, the surrounding area looks like a wasteland.It's a little cozier than Colorado's 17 field complex around their stadium:

holy sweet flying fuck!
That setup is just begging to be a dominant Academy system with every age group training at the same time.
Does it look like the field (different shade of green) just above the road to the right is larger than the one in the stadium?
If you zoom in, those fields play in a perpendicular direction to the stadium field. You can tell by the lights. Or maybe they put the light posts in the center of the pitch for training purposes...
Maybe some do, but the field in the center & just above/to the right of the road leading to the stadium is in line with the stadium's field - the 18yrd boxes indicate this. There's a second field next to it separated by the lights (same color grass)

does colorado have a good academy system? thats massive amount of fields etc. i assume local community teams etc all use it not just the rapids
Oh, I thought you meant the ones all the way on the top. It could just be perspective. They seem the same size as the other around it. Closer ones look larger, and maybe photographer used a lens that amplified that affect. I wish we had a photographer on here that could confirm and knew a ton about that type of stuff. I'm pretty sure there was this guy... I think mgarbowski was his name, but it's been so long I can't remember.
There are a ton of assumptions in there fella. Spending 2 minutes to lightly critique the aesthetic of a building doesn't qualify as worked up to me.

I think it's just the camera angle. The coloring is strange though... I wonder if those 2 fields are turf to help train for all those knee breaking away games? Either way, that setup is insane, and flies in the face of anyone who thinks USA doesn't care about soccer...
Here's the other thing to consider. We are going to draw kids for our Academy from at least 6 counties - maybe more. You are looking at a population of probably 15 Million people that are in our target area. We will have Academy kids from as far away as Fairfield, CT, Staten Island, NY and Middletown, NY. You are probably never going to have one singular Academy. You may have 5 satellite Academy sites around the metro area. It's just too much of an area to cover.
