Thanks to all who viewed this thread, commented and voted - We Old-Heads tend to look back at the "good ol days" - First played in this stadium in the 4th grade @1957-58 - some really great memories.
Thank You !!!




Come on guys - need your votes!!! - Mitchell Stadium - Bluefield, WV
Home of the Bluefield BEAVERS and the Graham G-Men -
The people here are mountain people similar to those of you in The High Country - The stadium is worthy ! -

Yes - Bluefield College just restarted its football program a few years ago - I think they discontinued playing in the 40s - Bluefield State played there until they discontinued football, actually I believe APP St might have played them there -
Also back in the 50s and early 60s - the West Virginia - Va Tech game was played in Mitchell Stadium

Just voted! My sons played there several times throughout their hs days. Witnessed Steven Peoples, Galax HS, run 502 yards there in a game which set VHSL game record.

That's great --- I'm guessing you might be Caleb's dad? (if so, I have watched him closely since day one because he was my home region - very solid player) - Most likely played against Graham - I played for Bluefield (100 years ago) -
