Very bittersweet. The committee has done an excellent job to keep the stadium unique and beautiful. And it will be on the same hallowed grounds as the old one. But at the same time I feel as my heart along with every other tomcat fan,player,coach,parent,and even ghost of tomcats past is being crushed by this article. Ladies and gentleman this is the final season at Grande Old Putnam stadium I Just hope come playoff time it gives us One more round of magic. I hope these players win and win and win to keep our Icon standing as long as possible. I feel as though I am losing a friend. Like I am losing the final connection to my father who passed eleven years ago. We always attended games together when I was a kid and I still look to our old seats every game. But most importantly I feel as I am losing a home. I spent more time in this place than any other place in the world. And I was truly saddened by every word in this article. Come that final playoff game I may just breakdown and hang out an extra couple of minutes. It's going to be very emotional. I think all players,coahes,trainers,band members,and alumni should be allowed back on the field one last time in the playoffs. Everyone has a connection there whether it is football,band,graduation,or any event you attended. Maybe you just watched your child play his first game of football here. I am sorry for the rant but it is just awful news.
