well 268 sky kings of kittaning here in western pa. just lost our field today .i hope other clubs have more luck than us as it from what i have heard was some pretty chicken shut stuff.
need field. a m a where are you?
AMA is down in Muncie, IN. Now Kittaning is around 7000 people ??=/- ??, but not far NE of Pittsburgh. and you have 268 members. While I've spent a lot of time around PIT, I forget the lay of the land along the river in your area..
However ,it would seem that with 268 members a club could easily raise some $250,000.00 and go shopping for some land to either buy or make a lucrative long term lease from some farmer. With a couple hundred grand down, you could probably get a decent mortgage on a very suitable chunk of land. Scanning some real estate classifieds I see there are units of 30 to over 100 acres for sale around that area at reasonable prices in the 1200 to 5000 per acre price ranges. A 250+ member club is bound to have some contacts to get some dirt-work accomplished.
Go get 'em.
