I think Kilgore seats 8,500. www.texasbob.com/football/ is a pretty good source for this.

pewitt seriously needs to expand...i dont go to many games, but i'm tired of standing at the games i do go to. i know i know yay that shows fan support but for a team like the bulls...they should know they should have done something by now.

The capacity at Maverick Stadium in Marshall is in the process of being changed with some summer rennovations.

 

The 2 small metal sections that were on the West ends of the stadium (home and visitor's side) have been removed.

 

I've been told new seats will be installed....but I don't know how many. I'm sure it will be more than what was taken out. They were rarely used unless Longview or Hallsville was in town.

 

Before the 2 sections were removed Mav stadium held just over 9500 I think. They probably removed 500-700 seats with the bleachers being removed. No word on how many will be brought in with the new section(s).

 

The grandstand of the stadium is concrete....so they aren't going anywhere. My GUESS is about 9,600 after it's done.

Gilmer's Buckeye Stadium is adding a new section of bleachers for the Buckeye band. The stands are supposed to hold 250 band and pep squad members and should be situated on the northeast side of the stadium (north of visitors stands). It hasn't been built yet but trustees put out for bids back in April or early May and should improve seating capacity on the home side by at least 250. I certainly hope they get it done quickly because its always so overcrowded. I don't think the stadium holds more than 5000, with, maybe 3000 on the home side. I would hope that the next major expenditure there would be to increase seating capacity. Have you seen the new field house? If only they would spend that kind of money to improve the stadium itself, I'm proud of it though, and the players deserve it.

Hallsville expanded the visitors side by about 1200. It seats about 8500 now.

[LoboFan07]

Longview Lobo = 10,500

 

Lobo Stadium seats 10,500 officially. But since the John Tyler game back in 05, they leave the bowl area open at all games. So now around 14,500.

[WETSU]

waskom...25 plus maybe one scrawny kid if your lucky. hahaha just kidding. The old stadium according to the firemarshall is 2000 but the new stadium is only around 1000. But i am certain 1000 will not fit in the new one...

[h-town12]

Harmony FINALLY got new visitor stands this year. The old wooden ones finally wore out enough so they got new medal ones. I'm not sure how many people it can hold though.

[clawsnstripes]

well hopefully T-High's stadium will get a facelift in the next couple of years after the bond issue passed. the firm that built it did a remarkable job considering there was a war going on at the time. that whole yankee/rebel thing had to be quite a hurdle to overcome.

PG's current stadim = 3,000 - future stadium = 3,500

 

I understand the desire to build a new stadium on campus, but the pickup of 500 seats hardly seems worth the effort. Too bad the 3 schools on the Texas side of Texarkana could not agree on building a common stadium.

that would've been quite a stadium if it had ever come about.

Although initially a common stadium sounds like a pretty good idea, it would not be best in this case for PG. The main problem with a common stadium is that for PG, they would never fill it. It would look to the fans and players that they were playing to an empty house even if they had a record crowd. I would rather see a full small stadium than an empty large stadium. It would not benefit PG and possibly would not benefit LE to help pay for a new Texas High Stadium. Now a common stadium for Arkansas High and Texas High and possibly LE might work. However, LE might still be paying for more than they need. Also, how would the concession proceeds be handled?

 

I would have liked to have seen than add 250-500 more seats, however, anything more would have been wasted money due to empty seats. There were more reasons for building the stadium than just adding seats. PG wanted to have the stadium on campus, they wanted to have a new modern facility with all the updated amenities such as field turf, modern concession stands, bathrooms. Also, they wanted to new stadium to go with the new indoor practice facility/multipurpose building, the new field house and weigh room and the new gym. You have to look at the whole package and not just the stadium.

 

The main concern I have with the PG project is parking. I'm not sure how they are going to address the need for additional parking. I hope they have included this in their plan.

When is the new PG stadium set to open?

When is the new PG stadium set to open?

 

 

I was told that the stadium is scheduled to be open for the 2008 Football season. They are not going to start construction until November 07. That will be moving pretty fast. I interested to see if they will be able to get it completed so soon.
