The new Memorial Field bleacher section, which will look like the drawing above and replace the old wooden seciton pictured at right, will give Leesburg a stadium that we can be as proud of as we are of the Yellow Jackets football team.
We need it. The Jackets deserve it.
Only one thing could stop us getting it, says Frank Ezell, who's put in a lot of time bringing it to the doorway ofexistence: that's lack of support from the people of Leesburg.
We think Leesburg will give that support.
Leesburg loves the jackets the way kinds love Christmas.
Yet...
The first game of the championship playoff series--with Auburndale--was so poorly attended that leesburg had no chance of playing any of the other championship games in Leesburg.
And The Dad's Club Holiday Bowl--a direct source of revenue for the stadium--was a poorly attended disappointment.
What does this mean? It could mean that construction of the new stadium would be delayed. There's a dim possiblilty Leesburg wouldn't get a new stadium at all.
The Dad's Club and the Stadium Committee have handled the plans so far. From now on, it's a community project.
That's the way it should be. Come on, Leesburg.
