The Methodist College campus will be the home of a new major
soccer complex. A non-profit corporation which has leased approxi
mately thirty acres of the campus will independently run the complex.
Mirroring similar complexes in Greensboro and Charlotte, the
complex will include eight fields with two levels of paved parking.
"From a soccer standpoint, this community complex will put
Fayetteville on the soccer map," said Alan Dawson, Methodist's men's
soccer coach. "Not only will it provide quality fields for our local
players, but it will also establish our reputation in soccer regionally and
nationally. Economy and exposurewise, it will positively affect our
Fayetteville area."
According to President Elton Hendricks, "It will benefit the
students by increasing visibility of the college. Also, it is a way we can
provide a service to the Fayetteville community which supports the
college."
The fields will be used by local Fayetteville youth soccer leagues
and high school soccer teams. The complex will also be used for soccer
tournaments and summer soccer camps that could be run by Methodist
men's and women's soccer players and coaches. The college dorms and
cafeteria may eventually be used for summer soccer tournaments.
The Methodist College soccer teams, however, will reportedly.not
be allowed to use the fields for their practices and games. This, along
with the lack of public disclosure surrounding those that are to run the
complex, has caused some people concern over the impending project.
According to a memo issued by Hendricks, the complex was
suggested by a "friend of Methodist College" who said that "he and
others would contribute the necessary funds." The complex will not be
operated by Methodist College but by an as yet anonymous "not-for-
profit corporation established for the purpose of constructing and
operating the soccer facilty."
The complex will allegedly be built at no cost to the school, with the
land being leased to the non-profit corporation for a reported twenty
years. Construction will supposedly begin this summer.
