My letter:

*****,
Hey we have class at 1pm & I coach my youth lacrosse team from 2:45pm-4:15pm so there's a very slim chance I can make the meeting, so I was hoping may be you can pass this email to the higher ups.
We love Chamberlain, if some kind of construction, green space, or side walk somehow leads to the Chamberlain side being destroyed and the field being destroyed, that'd be like ripping the heart out of my team. Both of my parents went UTC, my sister and her husband graduated from UTC, and as a youngsters we use to go to that stadium and watch the football games for years. Chamberlain Field is like the Colosseum of Chattanooga. Not many associated in the university government are original Chattanoogans, but that stadium has an epic place in Chattanooga. If that stadium gets destroyed, it'd be like the final tear to rip the balls off UTC (parden the language). This school has a huge identity crisis, one being switching the Moccasins to a stupid mocking bird & choo choo train, then moving the football team to Finley, and destroying Chamberlain would be the last layer of removing the glory days of the original University of Chattanooga.
I don't think the plans are really that final, but our say is definitely a no-no, & I know it's a huge burden and loss for you guys too to lose the field.
For us, there really isn't any alternative.
Challenger field sucks. Thousands of dollars can be put into the field, but it's never going to match Chamberlain's 100 years of UTC identity. Playing lacrosse on that field gives you goose bumps.
And a new facility is going to suck as well, especially in the Engel ghetto. It's awesome about the plans for the new facilities, but it's just not going to match the Chamber. When we go to UGA, Vandy, and Auburn, and play their badass national elite teams, they have these lame rec fields out in some corner of the campus. WE are extremely proud of the fact we can play on that field and brag about it to the SEC schools.
Anyways thanks, hope this is some good ammunition to save our field,

Andrew Wilson
Lacrosse Club President
