BMTSoulja1 Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 It’s funny. I thought t they were adding new lights this year. They’ve already replaced the stadium lights and put brighter lights on all the breezeways at the school. Seems like it would be common sense to replace all the gym lights. I guess it’s because really no one complained. Truthfully, when I catch a game, I never really notice... Quote
5GallonBucket Posted January 13, 2021 Author Report Posted January 13, 2021 At least over the court. The bleacher area can stay like it is. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote

I was in the gym this morning..... very dim like its always been.....I just figured after all these years someone would eventually make a change for the better. i know in the past fans from different teams would say things about the lack of light. So I’m sure coaches and players have done the same.... its not hard to see that one can’t see😁. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 It's a dark gym. And there have been complaints. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote
Bud Kilmer Posted January 13, 2021 Report Posted January 13, 2021 First time in it last night, I noticed it right off the bat, its too dark. Ridiculous really. The lighting over the stands was brighter for some reason. Quote
Hooohead.com Posted January 14, 2021 Report Posted January 14, 2021 I spoke with the AD about it and it was explained to me that the bulbs cant be changed...you have to change the whole fixture and was suppose to be done this year but of course...Covid slowed it down so next year its suppose to be done...we will 👀 Quote

United folks need to keep the pressure on. Its hard to even see the spin of the ball in that environment. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote

Chester86 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 Build a new dome, and think about how much fun there will be had by all with the naming. Quote

No need to build a new one. I believe the topic was about lighting only. I believe Chester would probably have a bigger need for a new gym. Your attempt at being funny fell on deaf ears. Quote
Chester86 Posted January 17, 2021 Report Posted January 17, 2021 What attempt would that be? I went to Roy Guess, Austin and French.....I actually do think a multi-purpose gym would be smart. There is plenty of room next to Veteran’s Memorial stadium. Quote

The original proposal with the bond there was supposed to be one built on that land. Reason why it didn’t go through... long story... Quote
JustUs Posted January 18, 2021 Report Posted January 18, 2021 While repairing the lighting in United's dim gym I'll also replace those antique scoreboards. Barbers Hill has a quality state of the art scoreboard replica to Lamar University. It'll be my gift to the facility on Fannett Rd. that has a rich basketball history during Hebert,Ozen and now United era. 4 state titles 7 state appearances etc. I will make this donation with the Bisd board's approval just as soon as I win Power Ball or Mega Millions..... This is probably the only way these needed upgrades will ever happen. The only other way in my opinion is BISD builds one new high school for Beaumont which in most likely hood will never happen. Food for thought...Good day to all. jmo... Quote
RaiderRed30 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Posted January 19, 2021 So serious question, has either United (or Ozen) teams, boys or girls, ever been shooting teams? We are talking about the lights and it being dark, but if you aren't a team known for 3 Point shooting would you want it to be bright for those opponents that are? It's been mentioned on here that multiple opponents have complained, maybe that's good. Competitive advantage. What's best for the fans might not always be best for the team. Quote

I can think of quite a few really good shooting Ozen teams from the past and this year’s United team may be one of the better 3pt shooting teams since they’ve been in existence. Quote
