Just wanting to get the community opinions so this is a simple two opinion vote. 

[WeedBegone]

Still early and i hope that we get lots of votes. 
Remember the board voted 5-1 so I am interested to see how that ratio compares to the ratio of those on this board that supports this areas atheletics.

I have no dog in this fight, but Thomas stadium has a good ring to it. Hopefully it will draw some playoff games.

I thought there were other people that had made headway years ago for BISD that should of been considered. I think it was a bad idea.

NM

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

should have been Willie Ray Smith Stadium. IMO

[Slimpickens]

How bout    " BABE Zaharias Stadium "  

[82 5A State Champs]

How about just plain ole' BISD Stadium. Thats a helluva lot better than the name it got!

[bullets13]

How about selling the naming rights and using the money for the athletic program?

That's what they should have done in lieu of what they did.

[xavierbreath]

How about "Spindletop Stadium"?  or something that identifies with the area?

Good thought, but corporations buying naming rights for high school facilities are few and far between.  I know of only 2.  Woodforest Bank Stadium in the Woodlands and I think it is called St. Francis Rose Stadium in Tyler.

[SgtRey]

WEST BROOK AND OTHERS STADIUM !!! :D :D

[SgtRey]

SERIOUSLY...WE SHOULD HAVE SOLD THE RIGHTS TO....EXXON, MOTIVA, DUPONT...YOU GET THE PIC.

[SETXSPORTSJUNKIE]

I really think a great name for the stadium would have been:

MCGALLION FAMILY FOOTBALL ARENA

Not only did the McGallion family put Silsbee on the map, but they have continued to provide a positive football atmosphere for the entire state of Texas, with their high level of play and their high level of coaching expertise.

Motiva's name, despite being in Port Arthur, will probably be the next name or chief sponsor @the Reservation....
