David J Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Heard from a friend that renovation of upper stands in Allentown has been put out for bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emc2 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Assuming they had to move it from Allentown (which I'd rather they didn't), what about Nickerson Field in Boston? That place has a good history of hosting DCI shows. Yes BU. maybe Harvard and wbz TV station is right next store. Charles river also.

08Hawkeye Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 IMO, not much beats warming up in the lush allentown JBC stadium setting. right on the waterfront area, gorgeous. one of my favs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David J Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 really? the ASD keeps claiming they can not afford it My guess is that state money may be involved with the way Fast Eddie Rendell likes to spread it around. Also, getting bids may not mean that they will definitely be going ahead. Either way, the fellow that told me of the advertisement for bids is in the construction business.

MikeD Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 really? the ASD keeps claiming they can not afford it Could be just an exercise in finding out what it would cost today, in case they can find the dough. I've seen that sort of thing happen before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kusankusho Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Franklin Field is a nightmare logistically. Lincoln Financial would be ok, but if the Phils are in town, or an event at the Center forget it. gridlock coming off 95 and 76. the place has room for parking and warmups, but getting in can be a true test in traffic patience.keep it at JBC. Is Franklin field still there? I thought I had heard it was torn down. I hope not - I marched there 1981 and have fond memories of that stadium.
