RFLMAO STFF, I cannot make fun of anybody's pressbox cuz ours is the biggest laugh in 4a/5a in the state most likely! It does make for a very, very nice backrest though as 2 of my 5 season tickets are up against it! Actually I think Varmit posted the GP home side box which looks pretty nice. I know there is a pic of the visitors side tarp somewhere out there. Our press box is getting a face lift right now, but nothing more than that. And from what I understand from folks working on the fundraising for renovations at TAMUK which include a total rebuild of the press box and addition of suites in the long term plan, press boxes fall under the ADA which mean you so much do more than switching out windows or doors, you have to build an elevator to the box. So it's something most districts are trying to avoid replacing right now if they can avoid unless they are using bond money to throw in those costs or have other money to burn which most don't. Or you have wealthy benefactor out there such Alice with CC Forbes. Precisely the reason the one at Lehnhoff Stadium has not been re-done! Elevators are very, VERY expensive! The press boxes installed at both SV and Canyon two summers ago are absolutely unreal. I was told that they were WAY in excess of a $1M each!

The press boxes installed at both SV and Canyon two summers ago are absolutely unreal. I was told that they were WAY in excess of a $1M each! If I remember from around 2008, there was a controversy about whether or not if the SCUCISD should spend $1M from it's bond money on a new press box. Obviously they didn't and instead bought a new fieldturf surface. Lehnhoff Stadium desperately needs renovations bad. The stadium looks like a stadium built for a small 4A team, not a 5A and a upper 4A school. A new video board would be nice too!

We need a 10K seat stadium with more parking, better concessions & restrooms...........& a high tech redneck scoreboard! I personally like having one stadium for both schools. Most don't like it, but I do. I love seeing Steele in one endzone and Clemens in the other! I just think it gives a little more sense of 'family' having both teams play their games in the same house! I would love to see them build a completely new athletic facility on about 80-100 acres somewhere.

Yes, I remember 2-3 years ago it wasn't that packed at the games (except the battle of 3009) but since Steele won state it's been packed like sardines. I'm talking both schools games. I see stadium renovations in the next bond with things like you said, like a redneck scoreboard! I agree on your one stadium belief, as the schools are only 3-4 miles apart. I think it's cool seeing blue and gold on one side and silver and black on the other. I just wish both schools played every year regardless of classification, like the Wurstbowl was!

Just do what Calallen does... Put the visiting coaches on the roof of the pressbox!

If you happen to catch GP vs Calallen in Gee Pee land, don't forget your hunting gear. It can come in handy if you sit on the Calallen side. RFLMAO STFF, I cannot make fun of anybody's pressbox cuz ours is the biggest laugh in 4a/5a in the state most likely! It does make for a very, very nice backrest though as 2 of my 5 season tickets are up against it! Gp has one of the nicest press boxes in the area...and our scouting suite is second to none.

The local DQ is the GP meeting place. GP also put a new meaning to what DQ stands for... Something about drama and kings wives.

Something about drama and kings wives. Life sure sounds interesting in GP alright! I just wish the DQ in Schertz was like that, as every time I go there its quiet!

No doubt! I love my Chevy CC 4X4 diesel. Don't get me wrong, my old F250 powerstroke was a great truck, but nothing rides better than a CHEVY!
