old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I have heard rumors that the game may be moved to another location such as Salem Stadium to accomodate a capacity crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boozer 10 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 I heard it might be played at Northside high School!! Right outside of Roanoke!! But hidden valley wants to play at a place they are familiar with. So it prbly wont be moved!! And VHSL cant make them move, it would be Hidden valleys decision!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Didn't someone say HV's stadium holds 4k? Ernie Hicks only has an official capacity of 5k so as long as they standing room I don't see a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can read their info: here. Warning: that is a PDF page. Â You can get a visual here That's WDBJ 7's FFE page. Just click on the HV vs. C-burg link.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 It's hard to tell from the video but the home stands appear to be about the same as Tazewell, I don't think I saw visiting stands at all. Â In 2004 Richlands brought in some temporary bleachers for the Salem game. Maybe HV can do that. They need to expect 2-3k from Richlands.

1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 The VHSL does have some provisions that a field must meet to hold a state playoff game. There must be fence surrounding the field, or stadium if I am not mistaken. A certain capacity is a minimum, and the field must meet certain criteria if I am not mistaken. I am not exactly sure what all they are, but that is the jist of it I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bored as all hell so I guess I'll poke around there.  [ QUOTE ] If a proposal by programs supervisor Larry Johnson passes the executive committee next month, the Virginia High School League at last will address the issue of holding state championship and semifinal playoff football games at adequate facilities. Maybe it took the mud-hewn fields of Appalachia and Richlands to wake up the VHSL into investigating, but Johnson says part of the problem is that in the past, guidelines for sites to hold state playoff games have not been followed.
