Mustang Bowl to get new seats

During the Superintendent's Report at the Sweetwater ISD (Independent School District) Board of Trustees' meeting on Monday night, discussion was held on new seating to be installed at the Mustang Bowl.
Three samples were seen by the board. Each seat is expected to cost an average of $120 and would be installed in sections D, E and F, excluding the first three rows.
The seats are 20 inches, which would allow 18 seats per row. Thus, around 900 chairs would be installed.
To cover costs, the board is considering raising the price for season ticket holders. They hope to get some feedback from the ticket holders on price increases through the use of an upcoming survey.
Sports were a topic of much discussion during the overall report, as the new UIL district was recently announced for football. Sweetwater will be part of the 4A district, which will include extensive travel for the team--possibly as far as 300 miles.
With the long distances, the district will be purchasing two new travel buses. The items had been initially included as part of the yearly budget.

And isn't it true that at one time the number 1 and number 2 bleacher companies in the US were both located in Graham, TX? I've always that it was odd that Newton Field didn't have better seating. Weird...

Anyway....love the Mustang Bowl and am excited about the new seating!! Congrats Mustangs!!

Yes one of the largest in the world is located in Graham. They have helped build a very nice baseball and softball field, but for some reason never done anything with Newton Field. Not sure why??

Could it be "Little Johnny" didn't get to play football when he was in school there? LOL

Southern Bleacher Stadium @ Newton Field might get some new seating.

I like the town of Graham, classy kids too.... Stadium? Not so much. When we play there half of the visitor's side is filled by home town folks--there is not enough seating for visitors. No parking. We all end up parking on side streets and get yelled at by the home owners. Current stadium is land locked and has nowhere to grow. You really need to build a decent stadium with adequate parking on the edge of town...

Maybe someday...new baseball, softball, basketball and school remodel in the last some odd years...not terrible for a town that is now being asked to save the hospital and the water treatment plant.
