My question is why build it to begin with? It won't be a playoff spot because it is not in a neutral site. I guess if you get Port Neches and Nederland to play their annual game there you can get some of your money out of it. Beaumont schools will never fill this stadium. Waste of tax payers money. It will look pretty right off of IH 10 though. Why not sink money in the school system as a whole. Is the supt of BISD going to take a cut in pay to help pay for this? All that money he makes.

If the district meets certain standards each year he gets a pay raise.  The last 4 or 5 years he has refused the pay raise and had them put that money back into the district

Geez, what a noble thing to do from such a stand up guy. I guarantee you, he's not missing the money.

That could actually happen, if PNG/NED meet up again in the playoffs one day.  If Lamar Stadium is not avail., we'd have to go out of town to handle the crowd, and remain neutral.  Unless we were to flip home for home.

Well I say this... EVery facility in Beaumont is probably 40 plus years old, so the poster that said there are good facilities they are wrong!  Lamar is a college stadium that is being refurbished now... It was simply a wreck and the district was paying too much to use it!  All fields in Beaumont are horrible especially when it rains.  The grounds need to be re-worked and upgraded.  Neither Babe or Durley is leveled.  The cost to keep these fields up will pay for this new stadium (which upkeep is already subpar because of the expense)... The seating is limited and if Rita wouldn't have paid for a press box at Babe it would be really bad! There are already projects in to upgrade the schools...  My wife is not from here and she laughs at how old and ragged the schools look.  The stadium is needed...

the location is fine and now I am ready for some footbal.. We should not put it in the Ghetto, and it should be in an area that has good scenery.  Downtown is over crowded and the traffic would be horrible.  Let's break ground.

3 schools in Beaumont, a 4th is in the planning. Does it make economical sense to use/maintain 1 great stadium or maintain 3 or 4 bad stadiums.

looks like most complaints come from people that don't live in Beaumont.

Has nothing to do with living in Beaumont  just being realistic. I hope it works out for you guys. By the way you are right I don't live in Beaumont and I am glad my tax dollars don't pay a superintendent  200,000 + a year. Not to mention the fringe benefits.

It is going to be a fine stadium and I am glad that the BISD schools will have it. If it only holds 10,000 or even 12,500 I doubt that PNG and Nederland would agree to play there for a playoff game. They would probably play in a larger stadium. Lamar or Stallworth stadium in Baytown. I believe it holds more than PNG's stadium I think. It probably could get some of the 3A playoff games. I know that PNG and Nederland and I think Memorial stadium in Port Arthur has hosted 3A playoff games. I'm talking bi-district or area rounds.

Just for your information bleed, you probably pay more per student for your superintendent that Beaumont ISD!

Just a question.  Why is it that only people not from Beaumont always have little smart remarks and stuff about the BISD Superintendent?  Let that man be.  Everytime a subject comes up about BISD, there is somebody that comes in and have jokes about how much money he makes.  Makes it sound like jealousy...

To whom are you referring soulja, I was defending BISD....

    • Both teams have improved, but BC was quite a bit better than HJ last year, and the hawks have probably lost some ground from that point.
    • The rumblings of a stagnant offense have been around for a long time.  Started a few years before Coach Mathews retired.  The rumblings were masked cause of how liked Coach Mathews was and is. As far as the community being toxic or kids hearing how bad it is.... That is false.  People are still showing up on Friday nights to watch football.  Kids are still suiting up to play on Friday nights.  People have not lined the halls of a school board meeting demanding coaches be fired.  People are not putting up signs in their front yards saying fire coaches.... etc.  All people are wanting is some kind of change... and when is that such a bad thing?!?! Kids aren't hearing how bad the team is from supporters... they hear that on social media from other kids in different schools.  Kids are smart enough to know that they are behind the times when it comes to the offensive scheme.  Kids watch other programs and what they do on offense and wonder why they can't do that?!?!?  Why can't we practice passing plays?!?!? Etc... and after a while kids do get fed up and say screw it, I'm not playing football anymore... IT IS NOT FUN running the same 3, 4, 5 plays.  You are right when you say Vidor has lost their identity and I do not believe Dubois is the coach to bring that identity back.  Many, many, many years ago the great Coach Dan Hooks was interviewed before a Vidor game... can't remember his exact words but it was something along the lines of Vidor is going to punch you in the mouth repeatedly and you'll know when the game is over that you played Vidor...  Vidor went on to beat WO-S that night in Vidor. Vidor needs that coach that will lite a fire under your or lite your a$$ up for messing up.  Vidor needs that coach that will go to absolute war with you.  Vidor needs change!
    • Couldnt have said it any better sir. Dubois needs to find a way to get community and player buy in and let the rest work itself out
    • I fully agree, agreed with it in the post after, different formations will also cause hesitation so backers cant just shoot a and b gaps and just blow plays up before they have a chance to develop 
    • Just ask Cleveland.  They didn’t bring their A game and lost 70-10 to Splendora.  You just never know.
