Being a general contractor, I thought ya'll might enjoy a little trivia. The two largest stadium builders in the US are in Texas. Sturdi-Steel in Waco and Southern Bleacher Company in Graham.
Stadiums go up pretty quick. If they are putting up steel they will make it easily.
I built Robstown's stadium when I worked for my last employer.
Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

Looks good. The first two pics remind me of Gobbler Stadium for some reason. Add another press box to the visitors side and it would be a darn good copy.
Gobbler Stadium used to be the football stadium at Wharton Jr. College before the booster club bought it, moved it, and reassembled it in Cuero during the late 1960s. It also seats 6,000--probably why it looks similar to this one.

Hey Ray Bearkat, how old/small was your original stadium? Also, new school looks good. Sort of resembles the entrance to a shopping mall.

It's finally here our grand opening this Friday...
Also coming soon to RHS, a new scrolling marquee for the front of the HS, 2 soccer fields, improved parking for the stadiums northside, and an access road for the northside parking to the frontage road off of Hwy 77.
I'm glad we're finally getting all these improvements...
