Dinwiddie is excited to start their season off by hosting GW. (I hope we feel as excited after the game, but this is why we let the kids settle it!)
I just wanted to share a little information with the fans from Danville making the trip.
First, you will see that there are two different routes you can take. One is to follow 58 until you pick up I85 in South Hill. This is a slightly faster route. If you take this route, when you get off of 85 at Dinwiddie, there is a nice place to eat soon after you take the exit. The Dinwiddie Diner is operated by members of the family that operates the legendary Giuseppe's Italian Resturant, a favorite of football fans from everywhere.
The other route, (which is my preference), is to pick up 360 in South Boston, and then take 460. There are two distinct advantages to going this way. One is, you only have to make one turn. You just need to take a right off of 460 onto Courthouse Road and your next turn is into the parking lot at the field.
But, by far, the best reason to go this way is so you can stop at Richlands Creamery.

If anyone says there is better ice cream anywhere in the world, they are wrong. Richlands Dairy, a family farm, opened this creamery to help assure that their family can continue to operate as a dairy farm for generations to come. And oh my goodness, did the ever get it right. You can't get ice cream any fresher. You can stand at the window while you eat your ice cream, and watch the cows graze that helped produce your treat.
So leave a few minutes early for the game, stop and enjoy a wonderful experience, and help support a local farm family.
When you get to Dinwiddie High School, be aware that the football stadium is behind the Middle School. The Middle School is the old high school. There is plenty of parking behind the Middle School, and the High School which is directly across Courthouse Road, is used for overflow parking.
Dinwiddie has very nice, modern restrooms, and an excellent concession facility. The visitors bleachers are "adaquate". We wish they sat up higher to provide a better view..., but maybe one day.
There is an easily accessible viewing area on the Dinwiddie side for use by those that are in a wheelchair. The restrooms are handicap accessible. The visitors side does not have an elevated area that is handicap accessible. We apologize for this, and hopefully the entire visitors side will be upgraded in the not too distant future.
Feel free to reach out to me here on Virginia Preps if I can be of assistance. And after you arrive at the stadium, if I can be of help, I'm always in or around the press booth.
Safe Travels!!!
