Gate City Playing at Hunter Wright

Well then why dont they rent out a stadium instead of thinking about it. like they said before GCHS field is on a flood plain when it rains water will stand there for a few days that can be a big problem.

Where did they play when they were in AA?

they played down there but since then there have been two floods that have completely destroyed the fences, dugouts, and field.....the point is it is not against any rules so why not play there? none of the players are unhappy cause they "have" to play in a minor league stadium

On that flood plain.

The money is there to fix the field. I think the Junior Indians rather like pissing everyone off by playing their home games in another state.

junior indians lol

tried for years to get the field fixed.....it would require tiling over the creek and completely turning the field around which the city will not allow

yeah but some parents do not like driving to TN.
Thats an hour to hour-half away from places like Pound and Clintwood. Thats an extra 30 mins than just playing at GC. Like I said, I see why they do it, I suppose, I just do not see how its legal.

haha extra 30 min? maybe if you are walking haha.....and as far as the long trip gate city travels at least 40 min to every district game

Ok, its 15 min from GC to the stadium, 15 mins back, thats 30. Added to the extra hour it takes to get there. To me its pointless, play the games, GC practices on the field. If they can practice there, they can play there. Appalachia basically plays on asphalt.

half the time gate city practices in the indoor cages or in the high school......we went almost two weeks straight without being on the field one year

i saw a guy on a razor scooter make it there in under 30 min..... and yes gate city dose drive over 40 min to district games witch they have to do alot
