BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Liberty University has a 12,000 seat stadium with Astroturf. But don't make any travel arrangements just yet. Richlands has their work cut out for them on Saturday. Â The winner of Salem @ Richlands will play the winner of Grafton @ Harrisonburg.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 If Harrisonburg advances to the state championship along with Richlands, there will be such camraderie among Graham and Richlands fans as I've never seen before, regardless of the past "Cleatgate" or whatever. However, I have a good friend who is a Grafton alumnus, and I would not mind seeing that team in the championship, for competition's sake.

hamil76 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I HAVE A ? IF THE STATE GAMES ARE DOUBLE HEADERS. HOW WILL THE DO THE SEATING DOES THE TICKETS PAY FOR BOTH GAMES OR WILL THEY EMPTY THE STADIUM. I AM NOT WORRING TO MUCH ABOUT SEATING BUT IF THE FIRST GAME FANS CHOSE TO STAY SECOND GAME FANS MAY NOT GET GOULD SEATS. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT MOST FANS WOULD MOVE ON BUT IT ONLY TAKES A FEW TO CAUSE TROUBLE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalemFan 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Ya get there early enough for the first game, you can sit and watch both for the same $8.00 as long as you don't leave the stadium.!! Once you leave the main gate, you have to pay to re-enter. As for the good seats, well, if you are there for the second game, there will be plenty of time for all the spectators of the first game to vacate and the good seats will become available. At Williams Stadium, there are no bad seats. I'm not certain which game will be played first this year, but you can go to the VHSL website for that info. It's not that big a hassle once the first game is over to find good seating for the second game. Been there....done it.!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keydet79 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 For the state finals, Liberty has a turf field but it is not AstroTurf. They have a newer design that is much easier on the knees. This field uses a man-made grass fiber that is set in about 6 inches of rubber fill. It is not as slick as traditional Astroturf when wet yet provides good traction while not transmitting high stress to joints when running. Overall a great surface. Â Looking forward to a good game on Saturday. I know that the Salem players are looking forward to the game and playing a tough Richlands team. Field conditions are the same for both teams and they have played on everything from 5" of mud to rockhard dirt over the past few weeks. Â Good luck to both teams!

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I think Salem will be the best competition you've seen all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CougarFan 10 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 You're not talking about the new FieldTurf or AstroPlay surfaces that are alot of NFL and college fields, are you? Â These pictures are from Liberty games this season. It doesn't look like FieldTurf or AstroPlay. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 I have no idea what kind of turf Liberty has - even their press guide doesn't specify. Â But I DO know that admission is $10 for the finals (no matter what time you get there). The semis are $8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is a muddy field people complain if its turf people complain. Maybe we should play in the parking lot. J/K Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues_82 10 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Haha the garden variety sure looks good...i wouldnt care what it was as long as i was there and the opportunity for a state championship title was there for the picking...hopefully we'll get some turf training this week lol...

waveman92 10 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 i went to the Honaker state game a few years ago. it is a great field. and i think that everyone will like the nice stadium. i like the turf, but if you get a team that is alot faster than you, you are messed up. good luck Richlands!
