Facillities Improvements

[Bullaholic]

What athletic facillities improvements are the most important to schools? Which one comes first?

Turf
Bleachers
Scoreboard
Dressing Rooms
Parking

Anybody's school made any of these improvements this season? Anybody in a new school?

Decatur just opened a new $34mil HS this year.

Let's see...Kennedale put in new turf last year, work is currently under way that will almost double the home seating capacity, and the scoreboard has been upgraded and moved to the other end of the field (the rumor is that they want to wrap bleachers around the west end of the field eventually, but who knows?). Construction is also underway on a new indoor practice facility.

Greenwood built a new baseball/softball complex last year....new tennis courts/additional football bleachers the year before.

We are now in the process of building a new field house!

They're redoing the Baseball infield in Cuero.

I wish they would improve the restrooms and Concession stands in Cuero.

Parking? A stadium needs parking? Oops, seems we forgot something. :D

Fortunately, the school parking lot is between the school and the stadium. However, it's just not enough. Oh well, maybe next year.

Celina of the 7 rings is the school that surprises me. Still got an old stadium. All of their player's athletic equipment is the best, though.

Is it as bad as my home town? I grew up in a town with a 1A school. The football field didn't even have a parking lot, but the fans still managed to drive their cars onto the premises and park all around the field. Then half the crowd sat on hoods or trunk lids. There was room for maybe 10-12 cars on each side of the field and a few more at each end. Everybody else parked on the side of the road (F.M. highway).

I remember diving for a catch at the sideline and sliding under the cable that served as a fence, and ending up just under the bumper of an old pickup! Those were the days!! :D

Not that bad, but we don't have a parking lot. The stadium is in a residential area.
