I just wanted to give you all a heads up about the condition of the Cocoa Expo center this spring after seeing that you will be traveling down there. We (Rockcastle County) went down there this past week. If you have been there before, don't expect much. All of the pictures on their website is DRAWINGS of what they expect it to be laid out and looking like next year at the quickest. It looks nothing like that right now as they make it sound nice with a water park and lots to do. It was run down when we went down there two years ago to some degree, but, at least all of the fields were decent and you could play several teams. They probably can't handle more than three or four teams right now at a time in a week. There is only ONE operating field which is the stadium and the parents and fans aren't allowed to sit in the grandstands as they are painting and conditioning them for bleachers. You have to sit in a small area past third base or you can sit at the fence past the outfield if the machinery isn't working. We had to travel for a game to a local high school and they worked in our JV games at the stadium as well...again with us sitting outside the left field fence. I felt like we didn't get much BANG for our many bucks and we missed a nice week of weather here in Kentucky. Just a friendly warning about the place...it is a wreck everywhere but the dugouts and the field of the stadium which are rebuilt except for the non working toilets in the dugouts.
