i heard there is some issues with funding........

The funding, like the projects are usually done in stages.  If they hadn't sold the bonds yet, then they have probably not slated for ALL of the renovations to occur at one time.  It doesn't mean they won't ever do it.

This. With the fact that the school district is doing the stadium in phases. This summer will be turf only. Because it doesn’t take much planning and time to install turf. While the other upgrades are getting drawn up and going through the next phase. With possible more upgrades to the stadium to be done because of the interest rates that the school district sold at the time and interest rates were in fact lower than projected. 
 

So the dude you heard wrong.

They will get done.  It might not necessarily be this summer.

anytime they tell you they will get it done "later"  "later" never comes.

just ask woodville how much they like their turf baseball and softball field they were suppose to get that got scheduled for "later" .

or png about their new stands and locker rooms for the baseball field that was scheduled for "later" after the turf was done.

going by what ?  Past history?  As far as I know there isn't any history.  This isn't BISD.

I saw that yesterday too when my husband and I rode by.  I'm getting excited.  Can't wait to see the improvements.  So ready for football season.

Is it going to be a bulldog or a "N" at mid field?

Odds are it won’t be an Indian....   😂😂😂

Maybe some feathers floating out of a bulldog's bite.

[navydawg31]

Last I heard it was a Nederland N on the 50 NEDERLAND on one end zone BULLDOGS on the other end zone and a Bulldog paw prints on the 25, red zone line would be black and gold, the green turf would be like how Vidor’s is and alternate the different color shades of green.

It will be a picture of a mud puddle, in a stirring reminder of and honor to the stadium's deeply rooted traditions. In the center will be placed a commemorative golden sprinkler, which will ceremonially water the turf before every game.

I am seeing some drone pics on FB.  I will ask if I can post them.

Lol especially for games against Silsbee, United and WOS! And PAM of course 😂

No issue with the stadium budget so far for the bond. The turf is a very straightforward project and it didn’t make sense to hold it up and not let our 2021 class enjoy it just because the bathrooms, press box, seating, etc. weren’t ready to go. We’ll circle back once the other drawings are complete and work it in around spring sports. The remaining portion of the stadium bond should be completed for the 2021-2022 school year. Heavy focus right now is Elementary Schools and NHS design which includes a state of the art CTE wing. Middle schools to follow.

My cell is 409-719-7042. Give me a call when you’re concerned about deliverables or budget. If it’s a real concern, I’ll at least tell you what I know in lieu of speculation. So far, no issues with stadium portion of bond. Just can’t fit the design and construction of press box, bathrooms, seating, etc. in before Fall 2020 season. No need to rush it OR hold out on turf installation. So many programs get to benefit by moving forward with the turf - our huge 300+ band, twirlers, flags, cheer, and westernaires won’t have to stay in the stands just because it’s a mud pit on the field. These groups put hours and hours in. Thankful they’ll get to showcase their talents too.

Not sure, but we do know an NDN will be standing victorious there this fall.

Micah a lot of the folks on here forget about the others who work so hard for Friday nights and even those in other sports who will benefit from the lack of mud.

They also forget that this is all being run by a school district which is a State Governmental entity. We know how efficient that is...

Would it be possible to work on the bathrooms while the turf is going in?  It would be nice to see those done before the start of the season.

No. They would have to have too many meetings to do that. Plus it’s too efficient.
