Glad to see I'm not the only one to think it a viable option...not just because of the IRMO connection, but because it is a great field to play on this year.

Having the finals there allows fans to be right on top of a pitch that was seeded this season with a sports rye grass. It's a fantastic surface to play on! I'll try to post a picture if I can.

My personal preference would be Wofford, College of Charleston or Clemson since USC isn't available. If none of those are available, then the best HS pitch would be my next choice. Hard to say IRMO doesn't qualify. The stadium is large enough to hold all fans, which would create an incredible spectacle of all finals. Of course I'm acting like I have control over such matters, which I don't. Pure wishful thinking on my part! Imagine. Believe. Achieve.

I don't know the size but I've never heard a complaint about the field being too small, that's for sure. Here's a link to an image from yesterday afternoon: http://irmosoccer.com/pitch.jpg Imagine.
