I believe the guy that texted me so we'll see if they start within 10 days and finish before the first home game. Good luck getting that completed in 2 months. Not saying that it can't be done, but even if they started site prep today, I would be very surprised if the new field is ready for the first home game.

atrisk Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 " Open to the general public public." This means the field can be used by any team or organization in the area, not just Oak Ridge? Maybe rename field/stadium "Pandora ' s Box" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrisk Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 No doubt it's a tight window. Always the option of working under the lights or moving the game(s) to opponent's field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With such a tight window, it might be advantageous to just perform the installation in the spring of 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bounder Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hey don't shoot the messenger I will wait to see it started before I get excited though. Still don't trust the city officials. They usually speak with forked tongue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINEDAD Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Would like to see turf at The Ship. Some schools are ready for an upgrade turf field and OR is still mowing the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
