The Grounds

Actually I'm pretty sure the added S from Homecoming somehow leaked over to Foxfield. Final Exercises is fine. The various schools break up and have their graduation so that one makes sense. Easters was always Easters....even though it not longer exists. Foxfield has most definitely never been called Foxfields until the last decade or so. As someone who loves the event (Day full of T-Ball today ended a 20 year long string for me), it's beyond annoying to hear students try and rename it.

End of old guy rant.

Hey I just got back from Foxfield! We had this discussion last night when 4th Year Drinking Society in my srat was making jugs for today...we were like it's foxfield not foxfields hahaha...making it right one drink at a time ok going to take a nap now because im sake bombing it tonight

Well the Kentucky derby just refers to the one race, while Foxfields :-) refers to multiple.

I cant believe there is even any debate about this. Its FOXFIELD, no S. Drive out the Garth Road and read the damn sign. Foxfield Races. Its been that way for 40 years and thats the way it still is.

Ok guys, you all are right. From tonight up through my tenure as a UVA student and beyond, I vow to call this event "Foxfield". After some serious consideration, I finally gave up trying to convince myself that it's called "Foxfields", and with the help of some Hoos on this board that have attended Foxfield for many many years, I will now call the event by its legitimate name.

Fair enough. You've convinced me. I was just a bit bitter today because I've been studying for exams all day while Foxfield was going on...
