rabidbeaver 90 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Drove by the stadium after I got off work at about 1:00am and the lights were on. Heard they are working around the clock to get it everything done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic 10 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I don't think its finished yet. At 4:00pm, they were loading up some more of the rubber pellets to put down and I didn't see goalposts or the fencing. I hear they are supposed to make an annoucement today about Friday's games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pru 10 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 They were up late last night working on it. If it isn't ready yet, they will hopefully have it done in the next day or so. Hopefully. If not then its going to be a sad sad day for Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pru 10 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah if it gets moved to Concord alot of people probably will be less interested in the games scheduled for Saturday. Alot of people wanting to go, are people who want to see what the new field is like. Obviously one of them is me. But if you all think about it. If it does get moved to Concord, that makes the opening of it (game wise) being the Graham Beaver Game! What better venue to show case the new turf!

wvmedic7 10 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Had to change my name from medic to wvmedic7. Couldn't log in otherwise...anyways........ Â I heard the games were on, but when I drove by at 4:00, still no goal posts or fence. Although I heard the goal posts were there, but the fence wouldn't be there til Monday. Also heard there were some concerns about playing ball with no fence around to keep kids and others out during play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 The games will be played there tomorrow despite some of the projects not being complete yet. The final decision was made last night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T45 10 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 when i was there this morning before going to practice, the rubber stuff was being put down, so i'm sure that's done by now. the goal posts were also being put up i think. not for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 I wonder how much $$ woulda been lost if Concord were used? Martinsburg is looking at a $10,000 loss if they have to move their opener to Morgantown : http://www.journal-news.net/sports/articles.asp?articleID=11318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
