re: Soccer field’s bright lights and alleged code violations divide Ascension neighbors

My “accusations” seem to correlate a lot with everyone else’s experience.

"Everyone" else you talk to.

What do you need me to elaborate on?

You're not going to so what's the point of going back and forth? You clearly aren't going to say which club you're associated with so we won't get anywhere with this.

I'll just say that I hope your experience, your children's experience, and any other child you know's experience is wonderful at whichever club you are associated with. And I truly hope they all succeed and flourish both athletically and personally.

BRSC has also always been paranoid about losing their monopoly on soccer in Baton Rouge. They have contracts with BREC that allow them to basically control all the soccer fields in EBR. Someone like Robichaux just over the parish line with a growing club puckers their collective sphincter.

Maybe so, but Girls Academy and MLS Next are what drives them these days, and the kids that are shooting for that level are going there no matter what

Flight is the ones hurt the most by an expanding Force club. They already lose the top kids to either GA/MLS, and Force has been able to sell the 07 girls success to attract the next level of players. I don't think Force losing access to Lamar Dixon was a random act or just because of "field capacity". Flight doesn't have that many teams these days, they absolutely could have worked it out if they wanted to

Brsc is moving to ENCL next season for boys and girls. Should’ve done that last year when they made the switch but the girls were having a lot of success in GA so they decided to go the mls next route. All teams will be ENCL next season.

As for Force, some teams and good and some not so good. Saying they’re beating the brakes off of BRSC team is laughable. BRSC isn’t worried about Force, but Ascension Flight certainly is.

This tells me everything I need to know. I now feel like this man should be protected. He's got an advocate in me. Let's ride.

I've known the guy since college and he and his wife have always been highly regarded by everyone I know.

Soccer is not my gig though, so I can't comment on that.

So the contractor who erected these 90 ft stadium lights and the electricians who ran power out there told him he didn't need a permit and the Dr believed it? bullshite. This is a classic better to ask for forgiveness than permission situation and he's getting called on it.

He should move and sell his property for govt housing so the dipshits in the neighborhood have to deal with real problems instead of kids playing soccer on someone’s large parcel of land.

Alot success in GA? GA recently dropped BRSC because they were not participating in the GA.

That’s the issue here for me. His actions are a reaction to typical ascension parish shenanigans…. That’s not exclusive to ascension but this seems like a power play against someone that certain people don’t like, deserved or not..

but if my home was 30 ft from a giant 90 ft light pole

looked on the map and the light poles appeared to be about 40'. They interviewed Exaggerating Man for the story.

I am not saying who is wrong or right, but let's at least report some actual facts.

Meanwhile Zachary says hold my beer and approves a race track in the middle of a neighborhood.

His facility was up well before the neighborhood.

But were the lights?

Neighbors behind Robichaux’s property say the lights installed in February have been causing problems.
