Thanks!! Bcz, I truly think next 2024/25 season everything will be work out even better.

If there is not a big turn around this year, things will heat up.  As far as press box fire, hated to hear that. It was looking great and I know community was getting excited to see it almost completed. Hope it is a quick fix.

I wonder how this will affect home games this year? Heard on the radio that the facility will be closed for 4 months starting in September. 

No effect for football. We've been without a pressbox for a while now. The new multi million dollar event center will not be available.

Highlights from the article...

In the interest of complete transparency and after a thorough investigation, the cause of the fire was due to the sun reflecting off the angled glass of the press box onto the vinyl VIP seats with seating covers. The corrosive fumes from the fire have affected all the soft spaces within the structures and will now require extensive renovation to ensure the safety and functionality of these facilities.”

It is highly unlikely that we will be able to utilize these facilities for the upcoming 2023 football, volleyball, and basketball seasons

Our primary concern is to prevent any recurrence of the burnt smell that may surface in the future.

The school concluded by saying, “West Orange-Cove CISD remains committed to providing our community with the best education and experiences.

Best eduaction??? On the same day as the report of the fire. We get this too. Outstanding again. We all knew the B grade was a joke.

so basically it was a real big magnifying glass.   Good thing that didn't happen with people sitting there.

Yea but I still dont get it. Glass is straight. You would need the curve to magnify the sunlight. So this was just reflection.

It looks like the glass is angled down toward the field.   Maybe it just put enough heat on the seats to ignite the seat covers.
