I support having an independent-league baseball team in Loudoun. Let me get that out of the way, first, before I get attacked as someone who does not support the team, the stadium, etc.

My problem with the article is that <b>THIS TEAM THAT DOES NOT NOW, NOR EVER EXISTED.</b> Go to the show/hide template for the Loudoun Hounds, and one sees links for: History, Records, Ballpark, and Rivalries. How can a team that has never existed and has no stadium have a history, records, ballpark, and rivalries? This all seems a bit presumptuous and self-serving.

On its face, this post appears to be promotional and commercial in nature. I suggest a major re-edit, not only on this page, but the one relating to the stadium issue.

Same team?

Is this webpage [1] about the same Baseball team?Mohamed Magdy (talk) 13:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's the high school in Leesburg. This is a professional team in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. Fool4jesus (talk) 02:27, 24 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's much reason to continue with The Dog Yard now that the Loudoun Hounds have announced that it won't be built, but I think some of its information should be included here as part of history of the team-to-be. -- Pemilligan (talk) 03:50, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It will be built, just in a different development. The ballpark is a separate entity from the team. --JaMikePA (talk) 19:23, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Pemilligan. Until some stadium rises out of the ground, the content can live here. And even after that, it remains to be seen if the as-yet-unnamed stadium will be notable enough to merit an article of its own. Certainly The Dog Yard was a bridge too far :-) RossPatterson (talk) 21:07, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional/Commercial Article?

I support having an independent-league baseball team in Loudoun. Let me get that out of the way, first, before I get attacked as someone who does not support the team, the stadium, etc.

My problem with the article is that THIS IS A TEAM THAT DOES NOT NOW, NOR HAS EVER EXISTED. Go to the show/hide template for the Loudoun Hounds, and one sees links for: History, Records, Ballpark, and Rivalries. How can a team that has never existed and has no stadium have a history, records, ballpark, and rivalries? This all seems a bit presumptuous and self-serving.

On its face, this post appears to be promotional and commercial in nature. I suggest a major re-edit, not only on this page, but the one relating to the stadium issue.
