IN Q=I thought when
((I THOUGHT WHEN I STARTED THAT NOTHING COULD FEEL BETTER THAN ACTUALLY SUITING
UP AND BEING ON THE FIELD, BUT I TELL YOU, WALKING DOWN HERE, TALKING TO YOU,
KNOWING THAT MY WORK FOR THE LAST YEAR IS GETTING READY TO COME, NOTHING COULD
FEEL ANY BETTER.))

Welcome to Rob Cox's field of dreams.
In about forty- eight hours, when the Lynchburg Storm plays its first game
here at City Stadium, Cox would like to see all 14- thousand seats filled with
fans.
An ambitious goal, but then, this is an ambitious man...with something to
prove to his community.

IN Q=My philosophy
((ROB COX/STORM GENERAL MANAGER: MY PHILOSOPHY RIGHT NOW IS I OWE THE CITY OF
LYNCHBURG AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS. I OWE THEM NOW. AND MY PHILOSOPHY IS TO
PUT A GOOD PRODUCT OUT HERE AND HAVE THE FANS AND BRING GOOD FOOTBALL TO
LYNCHBURG.))
RUNS=:11
OUT Q=football to Lynchburg.
Lynchburg's previous semi-pro football team, the Jaguars, sputtered for a
few years before dying a quiet death in 1995.
Cox knows the Storm will be different...and with the backing of the chamber
of commerce, they're slowly making a name for themselves and the city.

((CHRIS ELLIS/SPORTS CAPITAL OF VA: IT WILL GET LYNCHBURG'S NAME OUT THERE AND
HELP MARKET THE CITY, AND THEN ALSO ECONOMICALLY IT'S JUST LIKE OPENING UP
ANOTHER SMALL BUSINESS IN LYNCHBURG. I THINK IT'LL HELP IN MANY DIFFERENT
AREAS.))
