It Will Last

The Heritage Classic is going through growing pains. Not so much it's own but those of the city. It's not what it used to be for tailgaters and those less interested in the game itself. Fred Jones came on the radio today and 75% of the questions were regarding tailgate policy. He would have you believe the main attraction is the battle of the bands or the Orange Mound parade. I would beg to differ though. Unless a different crowd picks up the torch. The future home of the Classic might be Melrose stadium.

Tiger Lane only has 586 parking spots available. Only 16 of those are R.V. accessible and Mr. Jones has one of them himself. No way they can accommodate all the people that formerly came to Memphis every year. So much for those who make the annual pilgrimage to the big cookout. It was kind of like a mini COGIC for the city. The fashion show and golf tournament barely got an honorable mention. Fred Jones is the P. Diddy of of the Mid-South but he is getting old. For 23 years he has hosted a party in the middle for old classmates to come together. If ESPN doesn't come to the table with an offer  to televise the game. Twenty-five years might be as long as it will last.

They mysteriously came up with 1000to 1200 more parking spots. That's 25 to 30 thousand dollars to the city. That was a last minute development.
