I agree

Wonder how quickly they will move on this with school winding down

Didn’t Rowe take an Asst.AD or AD job somewhere

Perhaps the namesake of that stadium will come out and throw his name in the hat

Who's name is on the Stadium?

[bjimbo]

When Sloan got hired at HJ he brought a dc with him that he worked with at GR.  B-Rod worked for Tullos at Cleveland as well and to my memory lives in Livingston area.  He's now the dc at the new Conroe school.  We loved him at HJ and would give Livingston something to be exited about.

So what is the scoop over in Livingston?  What happened to the HC?  Why so late in season to let him go? Someone from Livingston, please enlighten us.

I don't think the "Five Guys Burger" founder is going to coach in Livingston. He may have been the last great straight on kicker, but Mark does not have anything to do with Livingston anymore. If he did, you would think he would make a donation to help them build a NEW STADIUM, because that place is garbage!!

It's just Lions Stadium. Moseley has his jersey retired that's it. As far as the stadium, yeah the visitor's side sucks but on the home side we have nice new restrooms and concession stands. Visitor's shouldn't be made to feel comfortable anyway. It's part of home field advantage.

If the choice is a new 20-30 million dollar stadium or nice schools, give me the nice schools any day.   I only go  the stadium  4-5 times a year so I don't think it'll hurt to sit through one game every other year. Meanwhile my kids have to be in school 180 days. And the majority of kids don't play football.

I hate the bashing but truth  be told  Livingston's facilities are better than it's former and future district mates hands down outside of football.

It's just sad that the town has so little respect for football. The NEW high school is amazing, but the original bond package had a stadium/natatorium/baseball/softball complex included, but it got voted down. The town of Livingston has very little respect for athletics and football in particular. Good luck to the Lions, hope they hire the right guy this time. Because Broussard was a complete and total failure.

The schools in the golden triangle are falling apart.  Build new schools. 

Our gym is top notch. The softball and baseball complex is great. And they're building a new track and soccer stadium. 

With one of the largest rv clubs in the country located in town the old folks will never vote for a new football stadium. So you go around and piecemeal things together.

Honestly none of kids are going pro so I'd rather they have a great school to attend.

Well I’m assuming you havnt been to LCM in awhile our high school has been totally redone they took out the quad lol, jr high, elementary have all been redone. Our supertendant 56 millon dollar budget was probably closer to 100 millon. Now our football, baseball and softball field  are the same. Our new gym is nice.

Is the new track/soccer complex going to have turf?

Glad you are happy with what is going on in Livingston, because accepting below average is why they are in the position they are in right now.

Ive been by. Its nice. But the Grove isn't better than our gym. I'm glad they rebuilt LCM. And I'm proud of the job that was done. May it last another 40 years.  Geaux Bears.

Am I happy with the athletic department and the success it's had. It could be better. The girls are highly successful and the boys will be better. As for the turf; ain't nothing better than grass if you can grow it.

At the end of the day if my tax dollars have to go-to something I'd rather it go to the school books and teacher instead of Athletics..

You are probably right, not a lot of Devonte Mays type kids around Livingston anymore.

I don't think anyone on here is going to contest against new schools or academic facilities. However, I'd be quicker to support a new football field/stadium before a soccer one. Also, while you're building all new facilities, why not include an upgrade to the football field? It doesn't have to what Allen, Katy, Clear Creek or Cy-Fair has. But, you could upgrade the quality of the stands, pressbox, track and field for a reasonable price (in terms of upgrades or new construction are concerned).

 

Schools like Shelbyville, Center, San Augustine, Cathage, Beckville...etc all have simple, nice stadiums with upgrades. Why not Livingston?

The gym was a let down and probably mismanaged by Pauline Hargrove which she is retiring and depending on who comes in could possibly change the AD. I think next year could be interesting for LCM

Old rv people will shoot it down.  Trust me it's been tried.  They vote to fix the schools but won't raise taxes for sports. Hence the run around on building new facility out of petty cash.

If I’m not mistaken, the baseball complex in Livingston is privately owned.
