AFTERNOON UPDATE: New rules fail to deter tailgating parties at Mitchell Stadium.

BLUEFIELD — Despite new rules regulating tailgating parties at tonight’s Beaver-Graham game, fans were out and about Friday setting up camp in the so-called “fan zone” area of Mitchell Stadium.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. tonight for the 84th meeting between the Bluefield Beavers and the Graham G-Men. Bluefield City Manager Andy Merriman proposed the new tailgating regulations in response to several problems last year, including concerns over alcohol consumption at the big game.
