If it continues to rain all day like this, do you think games will be canceled tonight? I know its turf field but I`m sure theres a point where they won`t allow games to be played.

true story - be nice to know before I begin the journey to reston

Tom posted back on 4/21 about rain. Turf fields are rain or shine. So put your cleats on! Your playing today unless a lightning storm comes thru.

not always true my friend. they canceled one of my games on turf because it was down pouring like crazy. the refs called off the game.

No FCFFL games have been cancelled due to rain this season. Last weekend, Sunday games on a turf field were called for lightening after the first game.

As to heavy downpour - the rain is tapering off after 3:00 today. If the County is going to close the field, they will do so around 3:00 on their website. If the field is open at 3:00, games are definately on for tonight.

I will post this afternoon on the field status.

here`s the official fairfax county field open and close website.. according to this... lake fairfax 1 and 4 are open. tom is this a go??
