New Football Field: La Salle's facilities are rising

DLSU STC has a new sports facility, and it's another football field, but may I say it is definitely better. Footballers can now enjoy the artificial field La Salle has.

The facility is the second artificial football pitch in Laguna after the one set up by the local government unit in Biñan.De La Salle's Santa Rosa field is surrounded by an IAAF-standard track. There is 3 meters of room between the track and the lines of the field, and the field proper is 100m long by 64m wide. That is considered to be the minimum size for international play, and, to my knowledge, the same size as the Chelsea/Gatorade Blue Pitch in The Circuit.FIFA's preferred size is 68m by 105m, but this field size is adequate for most uses.

The good part is that there is a very large buffer zone between the edges of the field and the track, which makes it safer. A player jostling for the ball near the edge of the field would likely fall on grass and not on the track if he was nudged off the park.
