Last night I emailed the director of the soccer complex and today I got an email from him and was promptly denied. I guess model rockets are considered "aerial devices" and therefor are not allowed on the property.
If the wording specifically prohibits "ALL aerial devices," counterattack.
Frisbees, kites, RC planes and quadcopters would certainly all qualify, as would model rockets.
If you could get a lawyer-type person interested in the case, it could probably be argued very persuasively that soccer balls become airborne frequently and in fact regularly in the process of normal usage, and thus they should also be considered "aerial devices."
You're a taxpayer just like the soccer parents are. You should have the rights to use that park as long as your usage does not interfere/infringe upon the rights of others.
If they're going to use the "aerial devices" bull$#% on you, turn it around and point it straight at their heads.
Just think of the news stories after a court ruling that the usage of soccer balls is prohibited inside the soccer complex. :lol::lol:
Your lawyer could then offer a compromise in which the usage of soccer balls would be allowed only in the event they could not reasonably be expected to become airborne: for instance, if the balls were filled with water.
:wink::wink:
Or, they might just forget about the "aerial devices" crapola altogether, yuh think??
Let the soccer teams use the soccer complex for games/practices as they currently do, and let model rocketeers/RC flyers/frisbee throwers use it at any other time which does not interfere. Everybody happy.
