Something about - "Come see the French National Team, with stars like Mbappe and Ekitike, play at the home of your Fresno State Bulldogs in the World Cup 2026" (Shows 110 degree July afternoon) - feels like a Simpsons joke that already exists somewhere.

Currently, creating tomorrow mornings entertainment for the kids.

The opposite is USD’s Torrero stadium. Tucked down in a valley of the Tecolote Canyon. Great views of the Spanish architecture of the USD campus overlooking Pacific Beach. I met Ziggy Schmidt and Jim Harbough there in the same week.

Continuing the theme of putting a soccer field on top of stuff. SDSU’s athletics complex. Has a bunch of normal full-size turf fields and then put a natural grass and track-lined field on top of a 2-floor parking garage.

Thursday and Sunday nights at North Park Water Tower. Played on rooftop fields overlooking El Cajon Blvd with the water tower. I just learned these fields were closed a couple months ago for structural issues.

Monday and Friday night co-ed, guys had 3-touch limit and gal’s goals counted for 2. We had a couple D-1 ladies that played at UCSB that crushed. Field is now a parking lot with an Alex Morgan mini-pitch.

I see Michael J Fox. Especially that smirk after his goal.
