No they didn't.

The bond includes upgrades all over the campus and stadium. The concession stand is just one of the projects.

It’s my understanding the concession project included restrooms. That makes the cost jump greatly.

Is turf included ?

LCM starts turfing their field and suddenly you guys are talking trash about others facilities?  I'd say act like you've been there before, but LCM never really has.

It seems like folks don’t understand the costs of things.  Typical.

[Mr. Thornton Melon]

School or government projects are always overpriced. You've got to leave some $$$$ for squandering, if there wasn't enough money to squander then there would be no motivation to push for approval of such projects by the squanderers.

[Separation Scientist]

People will blindly vote for any and everything a school/program/team wants, then these very same ones will CRY when that have to pay their soaring property taxes. 

Then, the poor always vote for any and every project, because they pay little or no taxes. Same reason the welfare "entitlement" crowd always votes Democrat.

When are we going to admit that 1 mil is not a lot of money in 2022 ?  Especially for campus upgrades when they are long past due !!!!!!!!

Well, it is a lot of money if it was just for a concession stand (which it is not apparently). That’s the premise the original comment was made on though.

WOW!  Another one that say's it's OK to freely spend "other people's money!"

I thought the concession stand did in fact include concession stand kitchen and etc.,  bathrooms and visiting team and Refree locker rooms as well? 

[Dirty_but_Dazzling]

Powerlifter (may GOD rest his soul) was truly a one of kind.

I do indeed think here in 2022 we now have our new make/model of "every town (in this case forum) has one" to carry on the tradition.

The article that I read (maybe Beaumont Enterprise?) said it had a concession stand, restrooms and a dressing room. I’m assuming the dressing room has some type of locker room and maybe even showers but the article did not exactly say. But yes, it was not like a typical small stand-alone building to serve chips and drinks.

This is correct. It's a multi facet building.

[Dirty_but_Dazzling]

my reply/answer from above is now a definite "YES".

IMO that’s a great deal. 
 

HF is doing things “backwards” in peoples eyes is what it might seem but that’s ok there’s no right or wrong. I am sure they will get turf in the next few years and when they do they will have a great multi purpose building, a turf field, I know they had their home locker room redone/makeover that was state of the art. Before you know it they will have some of the nicest facilities. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
