A community meeting for the purpose of making plans for a new athletic field behind the Follansbee High School was held at the Municipal building.  The consensus of opinion was that a new field was an absolute necessity.   The present field, Pastime Park, was simply a sea of mud after the slightest rain due to its location on the bottomland close to the river.  That made it undesirable for both football and baseball.   Furthermore, Pastime Park had no fence around it and it was almost impossible to compel spectators to pay admission.
