Neutral Fields for second rounds

Every stinking game every round.

Well that would be about the dumbest thing ever, but good for someone that lives over that way lol.

[Eaglealum]

Not really. (Minus the gray field part). Hollidaysburg and Mansion have great facilities with a good surface, not just turf. Both schools are WPIAL in football so about as nuetral a spot as they come. I played back when all playoffs were nuetral sites. And I can say, there were a couple that neither team were happy about. If you go away from the home field for early rounds, to me it's the only way to go.

It still wouldn't be all that realistic to play ALL ROUNDS at neutral sites, District Six is too big to try to play 14 games in 3 weeks at two facilities between single A and AA.

If you want to do play neutral site games throughout the playoffs you need more than 2 fields and they all can't be in Altoona either.

first of how much $$$ would that cost D6? and how much higher would ticket prices be?

[Stater32]

For example earlier first round games like, Mount Union vs. Southern and Huntingdon vs Juniata. That wouldn't make a lot of sense to have them travel to the Altoona are to play a "Neutral Site" game. I would like to see the 1 seed being able to pick a neutral site location (within reasoning). I think the Tyrone vs. Mount Union would be even better if played at Juniata College.

That's y they went with home field in first place. Too much unknown with facilities availability... Games being shifted to "terdball" sites that the local school didn't even want to play at. I'm a home field proponent. Just pointing out it needs to be at a certain set facility or sites that are reliably available or leave it alone.

[PortagePride]

Technically you could do Altoona, Hollidaysburg, Richland and Johnstown if you wanted to give you four fields, but even then I don't know how even It would work out....Interesting thought though.

[Crimson's Ghost]

Yeah, Richland and Johnstown would probably have to be thrown into the mix.


I mean looking at basketball, they get away with both Hollidaysburgs,Central Cambria, Bishop Carroll, and Richland. They have BEA, Tyrone, and Altoona when they need them also. Obviously basketball is a little different, but they at least have a little variety.

Are there any neutral domes available Friday?
