We are in the middle of Michigan and our team is searching for a practice field to use. Hoping for next Friday or the weekend.

Could travel to Saginaw, Midland, Genessee, Ingham or Shiawassee counties.

Thank you.

We have a 1/4 size practice field in Saginaw with 5 of the 9 defenses built (still working on the others) that you're welcome to come and use.

Alternatively, our parent organization, FIRST of the Great Lakes Bay Region, has a 90% field with basically all field elements (including some made to the metal, competition spec) in their facility in Midland (it's also home to teams 2619, 5509, and 5424).
EDIT: Cam beat me too it.

You're welcome to come to either of these locations any time we're there, we just ask you let us know ahead of time.


Also, though I can't speak to their policy on guests (though I assume they're open to having you come as well), Kettering University in Flint has a full size, competition spec playing field (though it's possible some/most of the game-specific elements are the wooden team versions). That said, I suspect they will also be VERY busy next weekend as a LOT of teams use that facility.
