These people are crazy! Do they honestly think that all the little league bleachers they're bringing in are going to accommodate the estimated 3,000 people that will attend this game??? MELEE in the making lol

[93Bulldog]

I hope it works out. You also have scoreboard operator, PA announcer, a few others who were usually in the press box, two radio stations, news paper ... gonna be intresting how it all is handled

I've talked to three people tonight that said they weren't going to the game now. I'm sure Trimble doesn't care and it's ultimately their decision, but it seems like pride got in the way of the best decision. It will be miserable watching this game. Unless you get the top two rows on the little league bleachers, you won't be able to see. Trimble gonna be losing a lot of gate money bc of this. Looks like I'll need to find another Saturday game to attend now.

GO BUCKS GO!

It's funny listening to outsiders complain. They did what the PLAYERS wanted to do and the PLAYERS wanted to play their home games at home.

If Trimble wants to play the game at home, that is fine with me. But I know I would never let my family members go into a condemned stadium. I don't even know how that is legal.

If Trimble needs to raise money for a new stadium, I would think reaching a decision that will minimize attendance at its biggest home gate for the next two years is not the wisest decision to make.

They aren't using the stands. Those will remain fenced off. That's why they are moving the scoreboard and putting temporary bleachers in.
The only issue I have is that I'm not sure anyone will be able to see using those tiny baseball bleachers.

The game will be played, Trimble will start 0-1, and the Bucks will move on to week 2 1-0!

Im sure the Athens kids wanted to play at home in 2010, but circumstances dictated otherwise. I agree with 96, I think they could moved just this week one game to maximize profits to be used for a sollution for the season. Had they promoted it to the county as a fundraising event - with a football game - it could have generated so much money.

+1
Four or five of us go to this game every year but we are not going to this one. I know the powers that be at Trimble could care less if Joe Public is there or not and that is fine. It's their home game, they can do what they want.

A tornado tearing everything up and a set of stands being deemed unsafe to use are 2 completely different things. Also those saying "condemned" it is not technically condemned. There was a public forum last night, all you complaining could've went and got answers and had a better understanding of everything

[93Bulldog]

Im not complaining. They could play in a cow pasture for all I care. I go to watch the football & stand anyways. I just think there was a great opportunity to be seized.

[tomcat82]

This game will be a good game for sure. Again by all means if you do not want to come to this facility that's your right. I can tell you that place will still be a packed house with or without you. The meeting was televised last night and I urge everyone who has channel 15 to watch it and listen to what everyone had to say. This community will work together to make sure the first football game will be set up and right on schedule with the scoreboard being put up today and the bleachers moved in next week. We all look forward to the new beginning of brand new stadium seating and a new field for 2018.
