H, I am the one who said the bulbs were out. At both the X/Lex. Cath. and the X/Fern Creek games at least 20% of the lights were not burning, and the non-functioning ones were at random locations on the light stands. Many people were commenting on this. If all of them are now operating, it sounds like someone took some corrective action.

 

 

Wow. What influence you have! When Oxnard says, Jump!, people ask How high? on the way up!

Other questions:

How frequently is it used? Would it be feasible for it to host a "game of the week" where a public school hosts a game with a high-profile opponent that travels well — I think you see where I'm going — as a way to increase gates and get a portion for upkeep? Couple that with an aggressive fund-raising campaign hinging on selling the joint's history and I wouldn't think it would be too hard to help the place out.

Public schools in Jefferson County need all of their gate money. There's already a bowl that rotates between Manual and Male that hosted 8 teams this year, and I'm sure a big part of that was your first suggestion.
