Since the beginning of time ? You are funny !!

The first field that I can remember being lost was in Kingsport Tn. It was an old drag strip. The property was sold to a radio station. 3 huge antennas went up along with about 100 guide wires. So much for flying there. That was either 1979 or 1980.

But Eastman Kodak came to the rescue. Gave the club a 100 hundred year lease , ( for one dollar ) for a very nice field. They paved a runway and built a shelter and a gravel road. So things worked out OK for that club.

I have seen many parking lots, (3),( used with permission ) become out of bounds as soccer fields and round ball games encroached the areas.

Here in Humble, our AMA club was actually kicked out of the landfill for a softball field. We had been there for years before the ball players came along. That was in 1991 or 1992.

So that is 5 that I have had experience with during the past 30 years. Nationally, it must be thousands.
