Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 We had purchased some tarps to put on our field (several in all that covered the entire field) prior to the VA High game so they would be happy. Richlands came and borrowed those today so im guessing the field isnt an issue anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 VHSL has game listed as Sat. 1:30 at Richlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhsfan88 22 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 The field tarps from Grundy are on the field now and according to some people the VHSL should be here Wednesday. Its not just the field they will inspect, its whether or not there is enought seating for the crowd and good dressing rooms for the visting team, which Richlands has both. Coach Mance said today he was 99.9% sure we would play at Richlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy10 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I dont know who you all have that does your field work but our players and coaches did all of ours. I hope you had as much as we did getting all those tarps on that field. I shoveled sand into garbage bags for 2 and a half hours to hold those things down. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHSDrumline06 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I think its kind of funny about how they say our field is too muddy when just a couple of months ago theirs was completely flooded with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance 228 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 right...then they played on it a week later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUEBLUE 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 The field was rolled Saturday, turface put on it, coaches ,players, fans, put tarp on it today, visitor sidelines was sanded today so it looks decent more sand will be put out after the rain. I know a man that has all the equipment ans supplies needed and will donate his service and employees to clean up the visitor locker room if that becomes and issue. THE FIELD SOGGY WELL MAYBE A little wet BUT IT IN GOOD CONDITION Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 not Salem's... it was Roanoke's Victory Stadium down near the hospital that flooded. If Salem's had flooded, Roanoke wouldn't be there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 that's exactly right. I was born and lived in Roanoke for 12 years, VHSLhelper is right, if Salem's field gets flooded I better drive up there and rescue my grandmother because she's gonna be in a world of hurt, or a world of water. Victory stadium is down in a valley right behind a river. It's an old but nice stadium, got to play city little league football games there as a kid. I've heard they are thinking of getting rid of Victory....anyone else heard that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 they're still arguing about it... benefits / cost / historical aspects / where to build replacement / etc. I dunno if they'll ever decide what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 that would leave a Big hole right at that "sports complex" if they were to tear it down. I couldn't imagine visiting Roanoke and not see Victory stadium. That field has a lot of memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I've never been there, myself. Only been in Salem's 1 time - 4th of July some years back to see Foreigner, Edwin McCain and whoever else. Hit the ballpark ? last year ? when they had the Billy Wagner bobblehead giveaway, which was while the the Commonwealth Games were going on. Â The last thing I saw on Victory was about 3 weeks ago in the <A HREF="http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/13746.html"> Roanoke Times</A> where some steps "crumbled" during the Glass-PH game.

rhsband06 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I believe they've decided to play in Richlands. They just added "Ernie Hicks Stadium" to the back of the pressbox, facing the parking lot, so I would doubt they would go through the trouble if the game wasn't played here. Looks pretty good, too.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Is the tarp still on the field? With sunshine and wind we're having they should take it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhsband06 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 They've taken the tarp off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmhale 10 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 I thought I saw the glistening of a large puddle as I drove by the school on the fourlane, but It could've been on the baseball field, I just glanced. I must've rained hard somewhere last night because my creek had risen this a.m. I didn't hear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yeah, I went ahead and drove up there and I saw a few puddles but I think they were caused by removing the tarp. Â I also noticed the river is up quite a bit. Shows how much rain we've had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavefan64 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Yeah, you cant stop a little bit of the water from getting on the field. We had that problem when we pulled them up at Grundy. And man, is that work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
