Last week our usual field was full of soccer players before 6pm. If soccer
is going on at 6, let's start at the other field across University Drive
and south of the tennis courts, which I think has not been used the past
couple of Tuesday nights:

A second, smaller game can coexist with the soccer players (on an adjacent
field) if necessary.
I'll try to remember to post a sign to this effect.
