Bmt. Isd sports complex

[raideroldtimer]

Seems I read that this field will only seat 10,000. If they are building it to last 30 years, you'd think they'd have built it to seat at least 16,000. This will make it's seating less than Reliant....er I mean PNG's stadium.

[82 5A State Champs]

I think the number I heard was like 12,500 seating capacity. That still seems a little low to me, but it's more than what we've got.

[Javelina]

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.

[PNG Proud]

Man could they have built it any further from the schools/bmt residents? Its great for people where I live but prople from north side of bmt got some kind of drive for a stadium in their own city.

Some cities just seem to like "bussing"!

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.

Short, out press box burned down in 2003, R years befor Rita. We played with a makeshift press box in 2003. 

[real eyes realize real li]

the stadium is a great idea durley and babe are both dated stadiums. but at least the jags and bruins have a home...Ozen doesnt even have a home stadium it is kind of upsetting that we have to sit and watch our panthers play home games on fld that say jags and bruins....The stadium Is good For all three schools......Great idea bisd

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

[Vidor50]

LOOKS TO BE AN EXTREMLY NICE STADIUM COMPLEX.  WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE READY.  HOPEFULLY THEY CAN MAKE ANOTHER ENTRANCE AND EXIT BESIDES IH-10 SR.

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.

[bigd92]

BISD need this and its gonna be awesome.

[Cardinal Supporter]

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.

[BMTSoulja1]

The new stadium will hold 10,500, I believe.  We'll have 5a and 4a playoff games as well.  If MC want to use the stadium, that's cool.  If they decline, guess what?  That's cool too.

[ozens fastest@1906]

Stadium is on track on track to be completed on time. It looks good from what I could see the other night passing down Fannett Rd. 1 side of the upper deck is complete looks like its gonna be nice ;)

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

[BMTSoulja1]

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...

The other guy.  And other people that constantly crack jokes and sny remarks.
