With the season starting Friday for the U-S-L League One, the Forward Madison Football Club faces some logistics obstacles.
Flamingos players are practicing at the Wisconsin Dells and their games will be played at Hart Field in Wauwatosa.
Fans got together Sunday at Breese Stevens Field in Madison for a brunch, but Dane County’s strict health guidelines to limit the spread of COVID-19 precludes games being played on the home pitch — no full-contact practices or matches in Madison.
Players point out that none of the 47 other teams in the U-S-L deal with challenges like driving an hour every day to practice and 75 miles to play on a “home field.”
