Port Arthur Memorial stadium closed due to safety

BISD has to get some money back for the new turf and less playoff games will be played there now since 5A 1 and 2 seeds get a home game in bi district. 

Plus BISD would work with PA about concession stand money back to PA a lot better than LU will.

Smh, the turf was paid for by the scoreboard advertisements fund.  A totally separate account.  If Nederland did this, they could pay for turf as well...

I know in the recent past that Lamar doesn't let high schools use their stadium on home weekends. Also they charge more on weekends when they are away because of having to have stadium personnel available when they wouldn't have to.

Things may be different now with new AD and HC.

Because it's not on top of the priorities list with the 'old heads' with the BOT....  They're content with a lot of things because it's how it used to be in the 1950's....

BTW, wasn't Mosley going to be elected for a board position?

It is a tremendous home field advantage when teams use to turf have to come in & play on grass.  I think it is very smart on Nederland's part to keep the field as it is.  Whether or not anyone else likes it, they are use to it.

We will see how much of a home field advantage it is come September 7th.  Being that it is the only game that the Timberwolves will play on grass this year, they practice on grass everyday...

Playing & practicing are 2 different worlds. However, I am sure that United will be ready to play!

Good.  Maybe he can start a trend to get some young  blood up there with fresh and new ideas and get some things going as the town as a whole seems to be getting younger.

Lot's of red tape involved with upgrades, pretty sure an elevator would have to be installed as well. I believe its an ADA thing.......When the Govt is involved....$$$$$$$$$$$$ and unfortunately waste.

And there you have it.  So all speculation should cease.  Hopefully, no weather event will slow down repairs

Good for the kids and fans if it all works out in time
