When they get the locker rooms built then Coal Miner's Memorial Stadium will be simply fantastic. I loved it and it was beautiful and well designed. The bathrooms were huge and there was plenty of concessions. The river running behind the field and the bridge you cross was picturesque. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it.

I kept watching that river wishing I could wade it and catch some fish. How's the fishing there?

The only two complaints for me (if you want to call it a complaint) would be 1. the parking situation and 2. the track around the field.

The parking is something you just can't do anything about with the lay of the land so no use in harping on it.

So that leaves me with the track. I just don't like fields with tracks because the fans are pushed so far back away from the field. It just takes away a bit from the atmosphere in my opinion. For example, the big video board on the scoreboard is basically useless except for advertising because it is set so far away from the field/fans. When they show game action you just can't see it well enough.

Pretty minor issue though in the big picture. Harlan County fans have something they can be very proud of and it is a place I hope I get to visit on a regular basis.
