Its for the better, but I sure hate to see these old WPA stadiums go.

I feel ya....but I will say, Newport's was about the least interesting WPA stadium I've ever seen.

Just above tennis courts.  Just had back surgery couldn't get any closer.

Newport has released their football schedule. First home football game at Newport Stadium is against Lloyd Memorial on September 22nd.

I think Dayton, Ludlow, and Bellevue will be soon also. Ludlow is getting a new Field and track but no stadium yet.

I've been to games at Ludlow and Bellevue. Ludlow's stadium looked to be in pretty good condition. It's been a few years since I was at Bellevue but it was showing some age. I've not been to Dayton for a game but just driving by it looks pretty rough. Rumors seem much stronger for a new Dayton stadium near the school; I haven't heard new stadiums mentioned for Ludlow or Bellevue.

Ludlow has done a great job taking care of it, it's structurally sound, but I can imagine the upkeep long term with be more cost efficient to replace. Not sure about Bellevue it's been a while since I've been there but I think just over time the elements will take a toll.

I was out running some errands this morning and swung by a few stadiums that have had/are getting work done on them this spring and summer. Here's a look at Newport Stadium, minus its 84 year old concrete grandstand. I didn't walk over to take a look, but I think I saw surveyors stakes marking either footings, or utilities for the forthcoming stands, and they were starting excavation for that on what will be the north side of the new stands.

Is there a delay here?
