The first club around here to really have it's own "facility" was CRU. I remember Frank telling me that it was both a blessing and a curse because it was such a big nut to carry and when things went wrong you were pretty much stuck with them.
My personal opinion is that owning a facility is more about the "real estate deal" part of it than the soccer side and that makes it fairly tricky to figure out whether this was a good decision or not. You need to buy it and build it for the right price otherwise you end up just running the club to pay off the debt on it. If it was a bad decision where that typically would show up is in any potentially lost opportunities. Club soccer seems to be a lot about expansion right now and if a club has a ton of their money tied up into fixed assets they might not have the cash available to scoop up another club if a good situation presents itself. Aside from that though being able to practice on a quality field is always a positive.

Hey, BTDT, did you ever ask your broker friend-of-a-friend how she could get her insider information so wrong, so soon?

People like you actually do their clubs more harm than good because most people are sane and see the lunacy behind posts like this.
