BMTSoulja1 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 IMO, I turf is overrated. Silsbee needs to keep that grass turf. It adds the unique feature to the stadium.

AggiesAreWe Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 I could care less about a jumbotron.Turf would be nice particularly how the field conditions at Tiger Stadium has been over the past few years. It gives you a lot of options, playoff games, etc. Tiger Stadium field condition is very good, did a lot of work on it this past year. But one monsoon and a game played in it would destroy it for another year.Silsbee was to get turf a few years ago. Had a cost study done and had a company come out and measure for turf. But then some other financial issues came up in the district and it had to be shelved for the time being.Now just waiting on a rich donor to buy it for us. ;)

bruno994 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Posted August 21, 2012 Maybe if SISD would hire Dr. Thomas, since he is now available, they might get both pretty quick. And maybe a hotel instead of a car lot behind the home stands.

raideroldtimer Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 First of all, I declare this the year of the Smack Talk, it's already starting to roll. That being said, I heard that Silsbilly looked at their tax base and decided to put up an economy jumbtron, heard it was going to be a 23 inch computer monitor duct taped to the top of their score board. 8) :o ::) ;D
CATS80 Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 ;D Thats true we got it for a good price from lumberton since they were moving up to the new 32 inch. ;D

I think it's funny what people come up with.
BADSANTA Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 From what I understand, a jumtron could cost in the ballpark of 15-30k for a LED style one. I think if every graduate from Silsbee high donated 20 bucks we could have a nice one. I'm not sure about the up keep of those things though. If local business in SETX wanted to advertise on it, you could charge them maybe 300 per season. Get 10-15 companies to advertise and there you go. Could help pay it off as well.
AggiesAreWe Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Tiger Stadium does not need a "jumbotron". Frivolous. Rather see that money spent on necessary needs.Besides, if you get a "jumbotron", you would want to use it to it's maximum capabilities and that would involve having a minimum of 3-5 people operating it, maybe more.Take it from me (a person that is in the press box at every home game), Silsbee has trouble getting someone to run the scoreboard on a regular basis and also there is really no room in the press box for a crew to run the "tron".Turf? Yes. Jumbotron? NO!!
BADSANTA Posted August 22, 2012 Report Posted August 22, 2012 Couldn't Silsbee pay a adult 25 per game to run the scoreboard? People normally work harder for money vs free labor.
