HoopInsider_Cooper Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 [font=Courier]It looks as if Thomas wants to spend $10 million on a BISD Event Center, aka 8,000-seat basketball arena, which would also host area events.They are also hoping a national hotel chain will be tied into this!!!!![/font]

Cheermom4 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 I still don't understand the need for a 8000 seat arena for high school basketball. If that isn't wasteful spending I don't know what is.
Bobcat1 Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Will there be other events there other than basketball.
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Posted October 21, 2010 [font=Courier]Yes, conventions etc...will compete with Ford Park, Bmt CC & Montagne for things.[/font]
AggiesAreWe Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 Would be nice, but I am sure there are more important things BISD should be spending that 10 mil on, right bullets? ;)It really isn't necessary. Ozen and Central have nice facilities, West Brook just needs better lighting. I don't imagine that would cost 10 million. ::)
HoopInsider_Cooper Posted October 21, 2010 Author Report Posted October 21, 2010 [font=Courier]I will post Jerry Jordan's take.....Those 3 schools played a total of 25 home games last. [/font]
SHSTIGER Posted October 21, 2010 Report Posted October 21, 2010 $10 million left over from the bond? Seems like Butch and the board loaded it with a bunch of playing around money. Have all of the schools even been built yet?
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 Just another arena for MHS to lay the smackdown on the BISD schools on the hardwood. Thanks Butch ;)
Bobcat1 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 It would be nice to have a huge tournament in Beaumont!!

AggiesAreWe Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 [quote name="Bucof2010" post="882959" timestamp="1287707427"]How many does Ozen hold?[/quote]2500
Bucof2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Posted October 22, 2010 I'm all about basketball even more-so than football but this seems excessive...The Fred White doesn't even fill Ozen and now they can fill 8K seats?

The Ozen gym was pretty full for those last two games, but you are right, far cry from 8,000.

[/quote]You can forget BISD hosting any kind of "small" school tourney or have any tourney that will have a great number of small schools involved. That's what the surrounding towns have going with their tourneys. BISD/YMBL is looking to make their tourney much bigger but with more 4A and 5A teams.Also, a girls tourney, sadly, would not even be considered.

Teams from all over Texas, boys and girls competing. The BISD complex would compliment such a venue. Also you would have the facilities to bring in regional playoff action.YMBL could bring in additional teams to make this tournament a major deal and bring in dollars to the area. CATMAN love dollars. ;)
