Comments:
The Euless indoor soccer arena is open until 2am. The Euless facility abuts a
residential area and noise is not an issue for them.
There will be no alcohol served nor cooking on site. There will be packaged
snacks served, but nothing that would require preparation.
This appears to be one of the better looking soccer facilities in the metroplex.
As a property owner that abuts the proposed project I am concerned about the
noise and light pollution.
I don't want a 37,000 facility built right behind our residential area.
We want to be a good neighbor, and so we will plant whatever type of trees you
want as a buffer.
