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.
