The Dick is More than a Stadium
By: Clint | April 2nd, 2007A recent Denver Post article sums up some of the innovations the Dick will bring to recreational sports in the Denver metro area:
“The soccer players of both genders and nearly every age and ethnicity will come most often, but so will the players of lacrosse, rugby, dodge ball, kickball, Gaelic football and hurling, flag football, ultimate Frisbee and even marching bands.
“It will truly be a sports park in every sense of the word,” said Brandon Tosti, director of business development for the $131 million complex, the largest of its kind in North America.
The fields are flat, lined and lush, as long as there is water, and the scheduling is simple: Call, make a reservation, play and repeat.
“We’ve dealt with the Denver Parks and Recreation for 10 years and it’s not easy,” said Ciaran Dwyer, vice president of Denver Gaels, which provides Gaelic football and hurling to adults and youth. “They’re not very user-friendly. It feels like you’re pulling teeth.”
“(Dick’s Sporting Goods Park) just caters for our needs,” he said. “They run it like a business and they run it professionally and you just don’t get that sense from Denver.” ”

Bless you, Clint, for calling it “The Dick” whenever possible. That’s how it should be.
