I've been driving by often. I live a few blocks from the stadium. I'm not sure what's going on. Supposedly everything has been approved for them to get started. They're going to have to hurry if it's going to be finished by the first home game.

yes it has. the Booste Club has agreed to pay for it. The BC chose the large Indian head that will be by itself on the 50. PNG will be on the 20's. There is a pic of the design of the Port Neches Groves Athletic Booster Club page on facebook. The cost to the Booster Club is somewshere near 15,000.

I drove by the field again last night, and they haven't even started moving equipment to the premises yet. I'm beginning to doubt this gets done before football season starts.

I went by there yesterday as well. I agree, having some doubts myself. Thought they were starting on the first.

Drove by today and saw this:

I'm guessing these are the tractors they will use?!?!

If this is indeed the start, I'll try to post photo updates of the progress often.

Drove by yesterday afternoon and they had removed a small section of turf near the end zones.

I took a picture to post, but it really wasn't much to see. I couldn't find a way to get in the stadium, so I just took from standing in my Jeep. I'll try to find a way to get better pictures as the work progresses.

was by there around 4ish today. over 2/3rds up and stacked outside the fence. Don't know what they are doing with the old turf. They have it spray painted with its size.

Just got back from the stadium. I took a picture from my Jeep, but I still can't find a way to get into the stadium.

ok. all the old turf is gone. Site sup told me that the new turf would probably be showing up within 3 days. It will take a couple of weeks to install apparently. Same style turf as at BMT stadium and Lamar.

Hey 93, you can go around the backside, behind the field house, and get in that way. At least today it was open.
