USWNT players criticize WNY Flash field conditions

The WNY Flash played the Seattle Reign tonight, but not at their usual home field in Rochester, Rhinos Stadium. Instead, because Rhinos Stadium was booked for a concert, WNY found a backup in Frontier Field, which as you can see below is actually a baseball field.

It’s not the first time that soccer has been played on a baseball field with soccer lines drawn on it, but due to the layout of the stadium, the field WNY and the Reign played on was 58 x 100 yards.

NWSL regulations state that minimum width for a field used in a league game should be 70 yards.
