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.
