Nederland’s should not even be in discussion per the issues (grass, wear and tear) that we already know.  I doubt PN-G would want to let PAM into its stadium for home games.  LU seems like a

Bureaucrats will get them on this especially since it’s using govt money and involves safety.  I would bet it will take months just to get bids for what could be a simple job.

That's typical.  Lol I'm pretty sure no one in PA is surprised.

BISD has to get some money back for the new turf and less playoff games will be played there now since 5A 1 and 2 seeds get a home game in bi district. 

Plus BISD would work with PA about concession stand money back to PA a lot better than LU will. 

Smh, the turf was paid for by the scoreboard advertisements fund.  A totally separate account.  If Nederland did this, they could pay for turf as well...

I know in the recent past that Lamar doesn't let high schools use their stadium on home weekends. Also they charge more on weekends when they are away because of having to have stadium personnel available when they wouldn't have to.

Things may be different now with new AD and HC.

Why you think Nederland has yet to get turf?

It is a tremendous home field advantage when teams use to turf have to come in & play on grass.  I think it is very smart on Nederland's part to keep the field as it is.  Whether or not anyone else likes it, they are use to it.

We will see how much of a home field advantage it is come September 7th.  Being that it is the only game that the Timberwolves will play on grass this year, they practice on grass everyday...

Playing & practicing are 2 different worlds. However, I am sure that United will be ready to play!

Because it's not on top of the priorities list with the 'old heads' with the BOT....  They're content with a lot of things because it's how it used to be in the 1950's....

BTW, wasn't Mosley going to be elected for a board position?

he was elected.
