When I used to work Dick Bivins stadium, I was concerned if we would have hot water for a shower.

Didn't know there was a menu we could pick from............................. ;D

Thanks for digging up some local dirt.
Rick the water is so hot now it makes up for the years you did not have it.

did they build new ref facilities when they upgraded the pressbox and added the video screen? I havent been to the officials quarters since...99 or '00. All I remember there was a portable-type building sandwiched between the two lockerrooms.

it appears the best place to undress and dress there is the backseat of a car

That sounds more like Kimbrough.  Old DBS had a dressing room in between but it was not portable.

The facility is great now since it was redone. Plenty room for us. Fridge with water, clock, nice chairs, etc.

The story on the paper here was they left the statdium at half and went to appartment parking lot or something. Pretty messed up deal. She and hubby have two kids.

My goodness! They could have had a 20 minute halftime and they'd still have plenty of time to pick up nachos/cokes from the concession stand and still be back in their seats   ;D for the 2nd Half kickoff!  In any event, I sincerely hope that the Dick Bivin's dressing accommodations for officials is better than dressing in the back seat of a car!  z^

Glad they upgraded it all. Yeah, it WASNT a portable, it was just similar in style as I remember. Just one small room with a desk and a shower off to the side. Kimbrough wasnt much better, although a bit larger. Plus, at least at DB, youre on TOP of the hill instead of the bottom at Kimbr.

To be a bit sadistic, I am impressed it lasted 10-15 minutes!  I would have loved that stamina when I was 15!
