From the soccer facility to the throws area is about 350 feet. From Shafer St to the west tree line is about 370 feet. Assuming it's roughly just a football field plus, it should fit. Thanks, I knew it would be tight. Curious if lights are in the plans? Instrument storage? According to the 110's website they practice from 5:30 t0 7:00 during the week. Gonna get pretty dark in late fall without lights.

They should move the fairgrounds out of there and develop that site. Yes, a newer nicer fairgrounds could go out on the north side on 56 before Athens Country Club. Plenty of land. Then with desperately needed new housing where the current fairground is, maybe the west side could get a food store besides the ancient and overpriced Seaman's. A Giant Eagle would be good. Or Meijer.

Hopefully it’s a modern store, full deli, hot food bar, just think how many hospital patients they could serve in the off hours of traffic.

I do like the paper bags with the handles for free though. Did you ever notice how the meat is always sitting there until it turns green because people don't want to pay $15 for a pound of ground beef?

Haven’t been in an Athens store since they did away with bags.

But this would be the hot setup...if everybody would #BoycottMenards (not many people go there anyway in Athens) since the ownership is notoriously anti-labor and anti-environment, they could vacate that building and a Costco could move in which people WOULD go to. Or an employee-owned Big Sandy Superstore. Obviously that is the east side but Menards doesn't belong here in any form or fashion.

They hired guards and enforced mask mandates, their competitor did not, so they never got the contractor business.
