Wednesday – February 23: Work crews doing the demolition of the old grandstand at Wellsville's Nicholson Stadium got a major portion of the stands down this past Wednesday. They got snowed out Tuesday. Here are some pictures of what they accomplished in one day. The top two pictures were given to us by our friend Karen Dash, a member of the Wellsville Board of Education.
On Wednesday workers from X-treme Trucking took down nearly everything between the front and back walls. Thursday they returned and knocked down the front wall. We haven't got pictures of that yet. On Friday it appeared they started cleaning out some of the rubble. It is said it will take longer to clean out the rubble than what it took to bring it down.
We'll try to keep you posted on the progress as time permits. See our post “Nicholson To Have A New Look” dated February 13 for why they are taking down the old grandstand.
Thanks for the pictures Karen. Although we couldn't be there Wednesday it made us feel that we were right in the middle of it.

It looks pretty much the way I remember it (well, minus the demolition part). I was surprised how many landmarks I recognized the background.
Hoping for the new replacement to show up soon!
