SWVA Sports Trivia: Whose Stadium is Pictured Here?

[Liam McPoyle]

I honestly asked because I remembered a time when it seemed odd. Maybe I only remember most places before it turned brown or mud in GC’s case. During my playing days, I thought PV, Union, and Abingdon were the regular grass types you see here, like Richlands, Tazewell, Honaker and Graham before turf.

Sixcat said Carroll Co is also Bermuda. That's at least a dozen or so schools

[redtiger]

Ralph Cummins (Clintwood) also had Bermuda. Hands down the nicest field I ever set foot on

I should have known this one.  I should have been looking at 'cardiac hill" on the right you walked up.  Same "cardiac hill" on  the visitors side.  One of the coldest stadium's ever to watch a game.  

I believe the "old stadium" is on the other end of town behind the historical cemetery.

Some go to Graham, some go to Tazewell.  Depending on where they live.
