Under the home stands the fence now has a covering. Nice color.

Is that MB's golf cart?

I saw a box for one of the video cameras. We have a Canon XL2.

Field turf vs grass.

Is there any room left around the stadium for a possible expansion of either the stadium or the high school? I know the new middle schools have an increased capacity, and that the high school will have an increased capacity when the renovations are complete (or, at least, they were before the revisions), and that all this was done under the premonition that the district's attendance would increase with the industrial expansions, but did they consider the possibilities of continued expansion at the high school when planning the construction?

Now that almost everything appears to be done, here is a pano looking North.

Boy, that is one good-looking stadium.

Now for one looking at the home side.

Visitors side.

One of the features removed from the project to reduce cost was brick skirting on the home stands. During early construction, they extended the foundation under the stadium to allow for the brick skirting to be added in the future.

Beaumont and Port Arthur ISD may end up spending more money on a new, concrete stadium.

But they will never come close to the mystique, history, and on campus setting of The Reservation. Throw in the spacious capacity, great press box and turf, and it may be as good as it gets.

It will only look better with the home side full of purple and white!!

I was at the stadium the other day. Walking from the underneath the visitors' stands up into the stadium reveals quite a sight as you see the field, home stands, and press box. Doing the same from the home stands isn't quite as impressive viewing across the field at the visitors' stands. Visitors will have quite a sight when our stands are full.

I love the place. I'll go a little out of my way from time to time just to drive by and take a look. I hope that in the near future, we can find a cost effective way to close the stadium in a little bit. I've been to numerous stadiums that had some sort of wall or tall fencing that you could not see through. It just closes everything in and keeps the place from looking so open and cavernous. I think that a wall was in the original budget before they had to cut. I could be wrong on that. Awesome looking place !

There is so much about the new stadium that is well designed. I love the field turf yard line numbers.....that purple drop shadow detail is beautiful.

First we have a gorgeous field, huge home stands with a stunning view, a press box that would make any college proud, state of the art concession stands, rest rooms that the ladies will not have to wait in long lines and then this. The best high school H.D. video/scoreboard with a new massive sound system. Add all this to the unique PNG game night atmosphere......I'm getting goose bumps.
