Groundbreaking Ceremony

Today was the long awaited groundbreaking ceremony of Edelman Financial Field – the soon-to-be home of the Loudoun Hounds and the Virginia Cavalry.  It was an absolutely gorgeous June day.  It was sunny, not humid, and very pleasantly comfortable for the outdoor ceremony and lunch to celebrate the stadium construction.DSC_0336

After hearing from the executives of VIP Entertainment, local politicians, and representatives from the Atlantic League and the NASL, the official ground breaking took place and the hounds were unleashed!

It was a great day to see the wheels finally in motion for getting the stadium built, and we’re looking forward to the sporting events to be held there next year.  Mark, Lyla, and I had a great time today at the ceremony and lunch, and it was an exciting day for our family to see this all coming to fruition!
