Directions to Championship sites
Group AAA :
Univ. of Richmond Stadium
Group AA : James Madison University
12,500 seat Bridgeforth Stadium is fairly easy to get to.
From Salem, follow I-81 north to Exit 245. At the top
of the ramp, turn left onto Port Rebublic Rd.
Cross over 81. Just past the light for the other set
of ramps, turn right at the light onto the JMU campus
(Bluestone Drive).
The stadium is about 1/4 mile up on the left.
Here's Yahoo's list (and addresses) for nearby
hotels.
(I know H'burg, and the Yahoo restaurant list isn't
very easy to work with. I suggest you use these links
:
Exit 247 - near the Sheraton,
Exit 245 - Port Republic Road, and
Exit 243 - near the Ramada.
I also know that JM's is closed.
You might also want to look at an
area guide.
Group A : Liberty University
12,000+ seat Williams Stadium is also close to the main road.
From Salem, take I-81 north to Exit 150, turn right onto
US 220 for a couple of miles, then turn left onto 460
(this cuts out all the traffic lights in Roanoke).
Stay on Bypass 460 around Lynchburg, and take the Candlers
Mtn. Road exit and follow the signs.
Candlers Station and River Ridge Mall are about a mile away.
Here's Yahoo's list (and addresses) for nearby
restaurants and
hotels, Liberty's list of
hotels (some may offer a discount), and Lynchburg Online's
restaurants.
