    My emotions are so torn on this subject it actually makes me heart hurt. I honestly know that it is for the best but my heart and memories don't really care. I remember being little and going to games and playing chase in the grandstands and gold seats because there was never anybody there. I remember kiss the pig contests with the players and such. I also remember always coming home for achool on a game night and for the only time going straight to my homework so I could go with my dad to the game that evening.

    Later in my teen and college years I remember sneaking liquor in the games and still going with my parents because none of my friends wanted to go. Ever try sneaking liqour into a game and sneaking it around your parents. Good times!

    Then there are the players, teams, and games won there. Watching the players run through the diamond when we won with the lsu flag and the k lady and the guy with the loud mouth that everybody kinda would get irritated with mby the end of game, I miss him now.

    I know we can bring these things to the new ab but dang it is a lot of my life that will be torn down when it goes.



    Sigh....
