I wouldn't call myself a complainer. In fact, I have consistently defended and supported everything that has been done at Barron Stadium in recent years in spite of the perpetual whining by others. However, there are nine months in which little or nothing--at least events that attract any sort of crowd--happens at Barron. Why block the main parking lot in an area that has limited parking as it is on one of its two busiest weekends of the year?

seriously, do you have nothing better to do than complain about EVERYTHING that goes on? the job has to be done, why not do it now? it's going to inconvenience someone at some time. you can't please everyone, and once it's done, you can complain about something else.

Who made the brilliant decision to do this work during football season that by the likes of things will block access to the main Barron Stadium parking lot on a weekend when Rome High School and Shorter University both play at home?
