cixelsyd Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 True. Maybe the DCI corporate takeover of DCA could be run like a business? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Looking back to the original topic, would there be any benefit to looking back at Scranton? It's a city that's hosted finals in the past, has a good-sized venue that's hosted regular shows in the past (Memorial Stadium, not the #### baseball field), still hosts shows on a regular basis and is home to an active corps. What else would be needed? Or are there still too many bad memories from years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus as it was , the area was running out of room for logisitics cupport such as hotels and rehearsal facilities. the regular season show site before the swtich to Peckville is a logistics nightmare.

Arrrr Kissinger Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Goodman Stadium, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA?? Great facility, great parking, centrally located in the Northeastern Corridor, easily accessible via Interstate highways, plenty of reasonable hotels nearby (Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton), proximity to major airports. Nearby casinos have great entertainment venues and offer an opportunity to either win back the money you've spent on travel--or an opportunity to lose your shirt! It is, however, a grass field, albeit one of the best around. For many years, the Philadelphia Eagles used this location as their preseason training site. Drainage is excellent. Total seating capacity is about 16,000 including the boxes, so about 8,000-10,000 seats are available on the "Home" side. Near-by Lafatette College, with a total seating capacity of 13,000 (8,000 home seats), has a turf field. What does DCA look for when making a "deal?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galen Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Both are good facilities but parking is a problem for both. Lehigh's lots are a good hike from the stadium, and it's also in a bowl, so bad weather (common in the area that time of year) would turn it into a swamp. Lafayette is a very nice modern facility but nearby parking is very limited. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Goodman Stadium now have lights for an evening contest? http://www.college-sports-journal.com/its-high-time-lehigh-football-got-murray-goodman-stadium-some-lights/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
