We could play movies on the jumbotron and charge $5 a person to come watch, then open up the concession stand for refreshments during the movie. All proceeds go to the sponsoring organization. That'd be a great way to bring in extra cash.

You are a very enterprising young person....ever thought of advertising as a career? Business management? ;D
IndianFan said:The stadium has a lot of potential for the community. Concerts, live viewings of popular events, playoff games, etc.
The one thing it lacks is sufficient parking. It would be ideal to purchase and pave the lot across the street in the front. And move the buses elsewhere and pave that lot for parking.
NDNband69 said:I agree (BIG TIME) about moving the buses elsewhere for games to utilize that parking lot. The other big thing that needs to be done with the bus lot is PAVE it. The dust flies from that lot to the visitors side walk, building, stands and field. This happens for every bus going into or out of that parking lot.
squaw said:Last, the buses need to be near the schools.
I wasn't being a smartass, just pointing out the facts. I also didn't mean the buses have to be at their respective schools. I should have said "the buses need to be by the maintenance building" for those who misinterpret wording. The people who live around Port Neches Avenue do not want an "eye sore" by their houses, either. Why not put the maintenance facility where Meadowgreen Park is? (sounds ludicrous, doesn't it?)bandkid said:We don't need to have our bus barn at the high school anymore. I'm not sure where we'd move it too, but if we move it, that means extra parking at the high school and, frankly, one less eye sore (sorry, but the building doesn't look that great and is in stark contrast to the high school, which will only get worse when the new wing's done).
Maybe we can put it somewhere on Sara Jane. That would be more centralized than the current location. Oh, wait, people live around there.....

squaw said:Sorry to disagree, Bandkid, but moving the bus barn to the "old building at the end of Port Neches Avenue" is NOT a good idea. For one, the old Western Auto building was sold to someone (from what I heard). Second, when the development begins at the park, this will be a major road to the park. Third, this is an area with lots of homes. Last, the buses need to be near the schools.

IndianFan said:The Western Auto property doesn't have nearly enough space to park buses. The most logical place for bus parking and maintenance would be on the other side of the baseball parks off of Merriman. Ideally a covered parking area and a modern maintenance building. Of course it would cost a bundle of cash to build it all. Add it to the wish list.
Bottom line, the bus maintenance facility is an eye sore. And the current bus location would best be utilized for student and stadium parking. It would be nice to have a long term goal to make those changes.
EX79NDN said:Suggestion, but how about housing, moving or what ever to the old bank building already owned by the school district??
squaw said:The bus barn currently is not at the high school, its on the street behind it. It would be great if the busses could be moved next to the maintenance barn on the other side (towards 366) and everything cleaned up and fenced off. Why can't the school district clean up? The area behind the tennis courts is an eye sore because they've been using it as a junk yard. Disgraceful.

I was thinking the same thing. Don't know if there's enough parking space there for the busses either.
