+exactly how many baseball fields and football fields does the city of pikeville have.
while everyone is thinking tell me how many soccer fields does the other schools in pike county besides pikeville have. come on share some of the wealth with the rest of the county.they take the money from the county revenue and build in the city limits.then they take the revenue from that and put back in the city.instead of putting back in the county.were it should go

First of all, I don't think that county revenue goes to the city. People that live in the city pay county taxes AND city taxes. Secondly, if you look at the coal severence priorities that were in last week's Medical Leader, the projects for the city are on the bottom of the list.

Pikeville is fortunate to have city run facilities at Bob Amos and Hambley that are used by the high school, college, and other independent groups and leagues. There are three full baseball fields (soon to be two as the soccer field takes one) one at the college (owned and built by the college), and one at Hambley that is operated by the city of Pikeville and used by Pikeville High School. As far as football fields, there is ONE, owned by the city (at Hambley) and used by the college team and the high school! Prior to the city's committment to convert Bob Amos into soccer facilities, the field at Hambley was used by two high school soccer teams, two college soccer teams, all phases of PHS football, and PC football. The smart, economical decision was to turn fields at Bob Amos into soccer because of the shear expense of replacing turf IF the rate of usage was maintained over the course of years!
