That scoreboad may not cost a dime but better be ready for a LOT of ads.  There is no such thing as a free lunch!  Better to have a paid for and owned scoreboard without all the ads.

I agree. Next time someone finds a million dollars or so laying around, just donate it to the scoreboard fund and lets get rid of those pesky ads.  ;D

Who cares if it has ads or not.  Everyone knows that football is big business.  You are going to get a state-of-the-art scoreboard with high quality sound, 3 cameras, and a control booth with instant replay.  What's not to love about that?  Oh yeah, and that little thing about not having to pay a dime out of the districts or taxpayers pockets.

They have to raise taxes to get a new field and etc.  But the Dogs are getting a big time score board that does not cost the tax payers a dime.

New scoreboard and a run down stadium. Almost like living in a shack and driving a mercedes.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Run down?  Compared to whom? PN-G?  I think we can all laugh at that.  That's kind of like PN-G's nice field house and rundown stadium.

In all seriousness though, I think it's great that these teams are fixing up their facilities, PN-G and Nederland alike.  It can only add to an already awesome atmosphere.  It also seems like multiple sports will benefit from the improvements.  Now lets see if Nederland and PN-G can push for soccer stadiums.

Nederlands stadium is run down?? What stadium are you looking at? have you looked at the reservation lately...

As far as soccer stadiums go... Let me set you back into reality.. Take your address and put it in Mapquest and youll realize that you live in Texas... I am all for supporting all sports.. but having a stadium built for a sport that doesnt draw as many fans in a whole season that football draws in a single game...Seems like a waste of money to me that wont pay for itself in a million years...

You're right GoDogs.  And come to think of it, basketball doesn't draw as many fans in a season as football does in a game, either.  So we shouldn't be spending any money there.  We should make them play at the Rec.  ;)  Baseball...  Softball... 

Your rationale is a little flawed.  High school athletics (other than football) isn't about making money.  It's about providing an oportunity for kids to be a part of a positive experience.

And I think the previous poster was talking about possible plans to rejuvenate Prather Field, not build an entirely new stadium.  Most football stadiums aren't wide enough for a proper soccer field, but now that new light poles have been set much wider at Prather, there is plenty of room to put soccer field there.  Now all they need are nets to keep the soccer balls out of right field and off Spurlock Rd, reset the crown of the field, put in some drainage, build a locker room, pour concrete for a walk-way to the stands...

Now don't get me wrong i'm a football fan all the way. But I do think Nederland's soccer team deserves something like Prather Field being fixed up real nice so they can play there like Bon_Mot said. They have lots of tallent and usually make the play-offs every year. I know they missed them last year but still had a good team.

Bon_Mot and I are on the same page.  I never said build a 12,000 seat stadium, nor did I say they would bring in a ton of fans.  It would just be nice for the kids to play on a true soccer field like a lot of Houston schools or Brenham.  Soccer on football fields can seem like high school baseball on a little league field at times.

People here are talking about how run down PNG and Nederland's stadium are...

These young people have NO IDEA of the history that has taken place in those two fields, of the classic games from the 60's and 70's.  You don't build tradition by a shiny new stadium that seats less than 5,000.  Although there may be better looking stadiums than the Reservation or Bulldog Stadium, few seat more, and none have the history or tradition that is found in those stadiums.  We can talk all day about whose stadiums look nicer, but in the end...

No game in this part of the state (east of the Brazos) can even come close to matching a PNG vs Nederland game played at either the Reservation or Bulldog stadium.  Granted, Silsbee's stadium is top notch, Galena Park and Stallworth stadium's have the jumbotron, but it just can't match the "atmosphere" found in the midcounty stadiums.  I would much rather go see a football game at a packed out Reservation or Bulldog stadium rather than a game in a less than half filled stadium at the nicer fields.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      By Englebert · Posted

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.
