Zog Soccer Players Unhappy with Roosevelt Island Playing Field Conditions - Update
Received this update from Zog Sports regarding their meeting with RIOC to fix some of the problem conditions at Octagon field that were the subject of this post.
ZogSports had a meeting with the heads of RIOC during which a number of issues and ideas regarding field conditions and possible repairs were discussed. There had been an accidental lack of communication between RIOC and their field staff, resulting in the sprinklers being left on for an extended period of time at Octagon Field. Upon realizing this, RIOC took action and the sprinklers have since been turned off. As the field’s condition has begun to improve, RIOC’s field staff has been working hard to move mud off the field, flatten uneven sections, and rake the field. This has improved the condition of the field immensely and ZogSports thanks RIOC for their dedication to improving these conditions.

ZogSports additionally brought in a field maintenance expert on Wednesday, September 26, who suggested a number of ways to keep the field in good shape for the rest of the season and RIOC has agreed to employ these methods. ZogSports and RIOC have also discussed potentially converting the field to synthetic turf in 2008.

i played there this weekend and noticed that, for the first time in a long time, there was no mud on the field. thanks, rioc + zogsports!
I completely agree with this person the Zog sports people are just wasting the fields of play and are destroying the soccer fields with their playing of football. I think that RIOC shouldn't lend out the field to these people they spend the whole day at the field and don't allow the residents to use the fields
