Ok i have some good news and some sort of bad news. not so much bad news unless you consider making kc polo better bad news.
The good news: there is a tennis court in the city at 71 hwy and swope pkwy (to be exact its at woodland and swope). This tennis court is lit 24/7. Nobody plays tennis when the temp is under 60 degrees. The tennis court, and the road leading to the court is entirely covered in a foot or more of snow, making the court unaccessible to others.
I have made the court accessible by shoveling out a path, which starts at the road entrance of woodland going into the court parking lot.
The bad news: if we want to play this week, or in the near future, we’re going to have to get that snow off of that court! but as much as i’d love to do it myself its a daunting task however, it is definitely doable. As far as i’m concerned, finding a garage in the city or near the city is a total loss and i’m tired of wasting my time on it. We’re going to learn to play in the cold; all the clubs north of us have it worse and they’re far better than any other club we’ve seen!
More good news: if we get the court shoveled off tomorrow we’ll have a day of sunshine and warmth on wednesday that will make evening wednesday play optimal! and brian needs all the practice he can get before the big lock-in in STL this weekend! so maybe we can play on thursday too..
Conclusion: help shovel snow tomorrow! write a comment on here if you plan to do it, make it a party i don’t care. i’ll be there at 5:30 for sure if there is still more work to be done, but the more sun it can get tomorrow the better.
the tennis court is here. you’ll have to park on woodland ave and 47th terrace and walk to it. thanks guys i hope it works out, this court is a great place!
youve confused me. are we shoveling the plaza courts or the new 71/swope courts? either way, im in. i have one shovel.
Hey guys, I’m matt from lexington, ky i stopped by back in august and played some games with yall at the roller hockey rink. i will be back in town this week to visit family and would love to get in some games before we head back toward home and the lock-in in STL. Ill try to check on this site on follow on twitter for the updates on playing this week. thanks!
hey matt. we’ll probably play wednesday and thursday evening, for sure wednesday at 6:30. we’ll post a definite location tomorrow, but it will likely be at the tennis court i’ve been ranting about. if you need directions let us know.
hopefully we’ll accomplish something like this: http://www.hardcourtbikepolo.com/?p=2064” rel
i’ve only mentioned the 71/swope courts lately. they’re the ones that are lit.
i see now, you did only mention that one. the 47th st threw me off.
Should be there at 5:30 with a shovel.
