Thrillist Miami
Tuesday November 3, 2009
Metegoal Indoor Soccer
7616 NE 4th Court; Upper East Side, Miami; 305.756.1700 or
954.266.9094
Creative use of space can be fascinating, from train cars
becoming diners, to the writers of Star Trek developing a
final frontier where people actually obey William Shatner.
For a raw industrial space cleverly converted into a pitch
for the beautiful game, check out Metegoal.
Hidden in a hip loft complex on the Upper East Side just
west of the MiMo District, Mete's an air-conditioned indoor
soccer facility schemed up by an Argentinian futbol pro
whose construction company was working in the building; he
and his employees started playing on the cement floors after
work before convincing the building owner to invest, after
explaining their financial goaaaaaaaaaallllllll!!! The pitch
is 90'x45' and ideal for 5-on-5 games, has 10-foot side
walls off which to play balls (with nets above that), a
mezzanine area for viewing/heckling, and's covered in
artificial turf that boasts recent advancements like plush
1.5-inch blades of "grass" that're fluffed via rubberized
sand -- which, unlike earlier versions, is now harmless if
ingested, much unlike PowerBars. As for playing time,
afterwork hours're the most trafficked, with games running
as late as midnight; your team/league can rent out the space
by the hour ($80), or call the coach/owner a day in advance
and he'll place you onto a team or wrangle a pick-up game
between you, your friends, and any other groups looking for
a game, then divide the hourly rate between all the
participants -- just like your shrink would do if he thought
your cheap-ass imaginary friends would pay up.
Future plans include a late-night tourney that'll cater to
players from the restaurant industry, and in the next month
they'll be adding two showers to the bathrooms, where you
can rinse off if you entered a stall and accidentally
stepped in Captain's Log.
