The home field advantage is dying....

As a lot of you former players (UTVols 2, PVFan, The Beast, ect.) know Clintwood's visitors locker room's are some of the most spacious and nicest that you'll find in the state. As I type this, those are no more. They are building a new visitors locker room/weight room expansion, so those nice, plush visitors accomodations you've been used to for the last 30+ years will be no more. The old locker room will be turned into the rest room and the old rest rooms have been torn down. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

LPD teams will find new arrangements when they visit the Cove also, as the home locker room will be housed in the new Field House and visitors will dress out in the old home locker room facilities inside the stadium.

I'd guess that Clintwood has the some of the smallest visitors lockers around. They're horrible. Appy's is small but at least it'll hold more than 10-12. I always thought it was funny when a team like PV'd come over with about 50-60 kids, you couldn't fit more than 10 people in that shoebox. It's about 4 feet wide and 15-20 feet long.

I always thought that Clintwood had the best visitor locker rooms in the Region D. That walk in closet was NICE. I actually thought it was just a restroom the first time I went in it, I was looking for the huge troff (sp?) pisser to line up one of the walls.

That was always part of the mystique of playing in C'wood. They will be greatly missed.

We had a player take a [censored] in front of everybody before a game in there one night. The CW locker rooms should never be torn down, it's like removing thunderstruck from pv's entrance.

They wont actually be torn down. It's my understanding that they're going to be turned into rest rooms. The old rest rooms are what have already been torn down. Which isn't a bad thing. If you were standing at the urinal, anyone sitting in between the 45's looking in that direction could see you clear as day.

Also remember playing with cheese stains on my jersey from the nachos thrown from the above bleachers

I always liked playing at Clintwood. I know Appys visting locker room is horrible because we had to use it in JV. Thomas Walkers may be the worst I was in because not only is it small but its a 10 minute walk to the field haha. We had a lighting delay up there my 10th grade year and Coach Turner took us into their gym wearing cleats instead of making us walk back.

TW did have nice showers though. It is a little tight, but mainly because of the lockers. I didn't find it too bad. TS was pretty tight as well if I remember correctly. When we went back to Northwood they had us change in a school lockerroom which was about a half mile away from the field it seemed.

Lee Highs was nice, and Coeburns were as well I thought.

How would PV's rate though? I would have to put them on the crappy level because where do you go at halftime or before the game?

You have to put Coeburn at the top of any football faciliites list in the region or this side of Roanoke for that matter. Visitors right on the field plenty of room, decent showers even the film crew and coaches in the pressbox have plenty of room and not stuck in a hole with a 2 foot wide window for 2-3 coaches or just out on top of the bleachers or in a room behind the home fans where you can't see when they stand up.
