Little Elm, Aledo, Woodforest The Woodlands, Berry Center

I think the Dallas Metroplex has the nicest stadiums and Allen is going to blow stadiums out of the water and they do have the money.  Also, Leander ISD in the Austin area have nice stadiums.

Beaumont will have the nicest stadium in this area unless you factor in everything, then I don't know who. PNG IMO has the best crowd enviroment, but with a back drop of plants, and lack of parking makes it a little less.

Silsbee, very nice stadium, [b]but small[/b].  Beaumont nice stadium, but the stands may be uneven because of the soil, I-10 traffic all game long, and the stands won't be filled unless PNG, or Nederland play there. Heck I don't know you make the call.

I don't get where you get that Tiger Stadium is small. Maybe its that we are a 3A team or a small town. As far as setting, Tiger Stadium compares nicely to that one in PNG or [b]that one along I-10.[/b]
[/quote]Nope , won't even be close!!

[/quote]The Beaumont bowl games packs the stadium.  Don't know where you get your information from expecially knowing that you grew up here in Beaumont.  And there will be no uneven stands or what not.  Butch Stadium will be the Jewel of SETX.  I like PN-G's stadium, but parking on the side of the road can be a pain.  Silsbee Stadium is a very good 3a stadium.  

I was kidding about uneven stands due to the field having issues. It's pretty close to I-10, but will be probably the nicest. Silsbee stadium is bigger than what I thought, my bad. I do remember Beaumont Bowl games as I played in them, but other then that, the Beaumont schools don't pack the stands.

I walked up the hill today at the BISD stadium, WOW it's better than Galena park (North Shore) already and it's not even complete. I love the way they have the concession stand in between the two levels right behind the reserved section. I think it's even better than Woodforest in the Woodlands (Conroe).

The stadium in Katy is pretty nice. Central played there about 3 years ago in the 3rd round playoffs if memory serves me correctly. Jack Rhodes Memorial Stadium

I agree, Rhodes is a pretty nice stadium, although I would put it more in the class of a Tully Stadium, which is also nice but not like one of these Taj Mahals that have been going on around us here.  I am a bit surprised that they didn't opt for one when they built the Merrill Center.....lord knows we pay enough school taxes here in Katy to build it!

When field turf gets put down at Tiger Stadium in Silsbee, I would put it up against any 3A stadium in the state.

Plans to lay turf for this upcoming season had to be put back due to some problems elsewhere (baseball field and light poles). But based on what I am hearing, I am convinced that turf will be in Tiger Stadium within the next two seasons.

Hey WOSgrad, I use to live in Katy, Grand Lakes, and I feel your pain. Heck, I had to pay $1,000 a year HOA dues and then around $8,000 in taxes. The neighborhood and schools were worth every penny though. Maybe one of these days we'll be back in Katy after ya'll get the tax rate down :D The last I checked the November bond was going to be about $300 million with HS #7, stadium, and some other schools. I can only imagine what the stadium will look like, and it's going on the south side of I-10. So you know it's going to be nice to keep the Cinco Ranch and Seven Lakes parents happy.

[/quote]The rubber was going down monday morning, so i would think they were ahead of schedule. It's gonna be close. They worked on our new pressbox up until kick off last season, matter of fact they are adding the letters to the face of the pressbox this week.

Navasota is nice but if Silsbee acquired all of the above I think it would put them on top  ;D
