Maybe a LOT of work has been done since then, but if not, then they have a long way to go to make it serviceable for that tournament next month. For example, you almost needed ankle-high waterproof boots just to go to the bathroom. The field and playing surface looked okay, but everything else was in bad shape.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-21076013301289821992020-01-14T17:10:00.887-06:002020-01-14T17:10:00.887-06:00Trust me Missippi's Rag won't be flying.Trust me Missippi's Rag won't be flying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-59235717653167563122020-01-14T15:38:29.238-06:002020-01-14T15:38:29.238-06:00Wait, what about the flag?
