TSSAA Track

Vanderbilt does have a very nice track...but their stadium is nowhere near big enough to seat all the people that the state track meet has there watching. I totally disagree that the state meet should be held there.

Temporary Bleachers bud

 

Best track in state+best central location+temporary bleachers= Best State meet to date!

Issues with thte State track meet :

1. Memphis, need I say more, how many kids from the East ran, threw or jumped, and their parents missed it because they would have to miss 2 days of work. Very few of us can do that.

2. Taking the morning to run the field events then doing nothing until 5:00, it makes it very hard on multi-event runners especially kids who run singles and relays. start them back up at 2:00 and take a little more time between races give them a chance to give their best.

3. Making coaches and athletes pay to park unless there are at least 3 athletes in the car, some schools are lucky to get one let alone three.

 

The list goes on.

I agree it is stupid trying to make athletes pay. I guess thats why i had to sneak in. No way i was going to pay $7 or whatever. What was i going to do watch myself run? TSSAA s ucks.

Have you ever been to the Vandy track? There is hardly enough room for the temporary bleachers that they have. Although they indeed need a more central location for the state meet.

I didnt think of that ....but still where are they going to put them on the fence ?

[saywhat?]

It would be a challenge, but it could be overcome. The useless concrete thing running parallel to the home stretch could hold quite a few temporary bleacehers. Entrance to these bleachers would be through the back of them, meaning that spectators would enter from around that building back there. Natchez Trace could be closed off to house more bleachers.

[coasterboarder]

The idea proposed is that natchez trace would be closed and the bleachers would go there. I think there would be plenty of room

[saywhat?]

Good Morning. Good Morning. Mwah Mwah Mwah. Let me echo the words of Mr. Coasterboarder: close Natchez Trace and put the bleachers there.

Why dosen't the TSSAA finance the meet by charging all the private school athletes 1/10th of their family's income as admission?

 

[/sarcasm]

So now that we have established the problem, how can we get the T$$AA to focus on athletics?
