Illinois Benedictine

The club Secretary and Chairman met with Illinois Benedictine University facility coordinator Kevin Dune (pronounced Dunn) on Tuesday this week to discuss use of their fields for practices, games and potentially tournaments.  They have a field that is 135 yards by 70 yards and that is in excellent condition as well as perfectly flat.  They have 25 ft. wide soccer goals on wheels that we could easily attach goal posts to.  Our intent for the discussion is to get a better and bigger field for our games in particular and to develop a relationship with the University so we can have a reliable and affordable place to play.  Ideally, the University could become our "home" field.  Besides the one grass field, there is an artificial turf football field similarly sized to what we are using at Commissioner's and Nike Field.  Finally, for tournament scheduling, the University also has a close relationship with Benet H.S., who have another full sized football field and another very large field.  Working together, it is feasible that as many as four games could be going on concurrently if everyone agreed to allow it.  Realistically, our initial tournament as a host will likely be small and the two University fields should be plenty.
