I've been hearing that it will be moved to Clinch Valley.

I kinda doubt it with them changing to a $500 use fee and have to split concessions take with the college, plus it is Homecoming.

They better play it, this ain't powderpuff. I don't care how bad it is. Plus, if they cancel until tomorrow they will lose a ton of gate money IMO.

I would bet they would gain money. Most football fans in Wise County would probably attend tomorrow.

That field is a mess anyway. Both teams need to show up in something other than white and play the game.

And the city needs to do something with that field. Fill dirt would help. Current dirt seems to be mostly coal dust (black as night). And plant some grass on the visitor's sideline.

Isn't the visitor sideline part of the baseball dirt? I know we had some issues with the grass this season and there was a disease that just about killed it out, had the LPCC superintendent up there fixing stuff.

Really???? I just feel that most would elect to stay home and watch college football, I know I would be tempted depending on time of UT game which would put me leaving at halftime. Seems like that last couple of times we changed Cwood game to Saturday due to Halloween that about half showed up, I could be wrong

I don't know about baseball, never been there when it was configured as such. A mat or something would help on that sideline.

Hey Bob (as in hello). If you stand toward the top of the visitors seats and look down or back you can see the rest of the infield. Two playing surfaces that don't mix well.
