hotrod471 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 the gate for the football and baseball is to big we would out on that if it is moved so sorry its tullahoma call it all comes down to $$$$$ and tullahoma city schools needs it 825678239[/snapback] Doesn't all of the gate go to TSSAA during tourney games, no matter where played, and then split evenly amongst all of the schools?

binns37388 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Tullahoma earned the right to host this game by going to Riverdale and winning the Region championship. If Cleveland had defeated McMinn Co, then they could host a game and change the time to fit their needs. It's an unfortunate situation for the six seniors, but Tullahoma players have had to miss graduation ceremonies in the past to play baseball. I'm sure this is affecting other players on other teams this week-end. I can't blame Tullahoma officials for not changing the game time for six players, when the time change could affect hundreds of Tullahoma fans from attending. I don't think the rain will affect the start time, since Tullahoma has a tarp that covers the entire infield. This situation won't keep the six seniors from graduating, they just can't attend the ceremonies. I think in most cases, if the players had a choice, they would play the game, but that's my opinion and I could be wrong. I hope the Cleveland fans have a safe trip to and from the game.

TSSAA gets thier cut from the top before anything is taken out. The the host school takes out money for the overhead and whats left over is divide among the 2 teams involved (travel, food and other bills) The state office pays for the umpires out of the gate. Cleveland traveled a couple of years ago to Riverdale and lost money after they was rembursed by the state. I know the Atheltic budgets need money to play the games and every school has a crunch. Theres no sour grapes here. I just had a root canal done and the medicine hasn't worn off yet. Just a little fun and something to haggle about on a rainy Thursday night. Good luck to Tullahoma/Cleveland winner in the state on Tuesday morning @ 10 AM CST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcblz1987 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 http://maps.yahoo.com/dd_result?newaddr=85...388&tcountry=ussorry big link no it is behind the high school but be carefull coming down the main road it is a bad mess 825678298[/snapback] They are practicly ontop of each other. If parking is a huge problem you could actually park by the fieldsby the pool( D W Wilson) and walk the side walk about 600m to the field. But you should be fine on parking I would think.
