Sitting at the Spring Game Friday night, I couldn't help but notice how "massive" the PressBox is......its huge! There were some guys from a neighbor school there that kept saying over and over that The Reservation looked like and had the atmosphere of a college stadium. I'm very proud of PNG......very proud!


PNG.........HONOR>>>>>>>>PRIDE>>>>>>>>>>TRADITION>>>>>>>>>>>PRICELESS!

My class reunion got a tour of the press box after the PNG vs LCM game.

Hall way at lower level......and that elevator is one quiet, smooth ride.

The brains of the video control room. Our kids do a wonderful job covering the game.

And after standing in 2" of water in the bathroom at Lumberton stadium "I AM PROUD OF OUR STADIUM". There is more pressing issues in the world than to bit*h about chairs...........geeeez
 
You may not want to B**** about the price of the chairs, garbage cans and whatever else that was ridiculously spent for the press box! THAT MONEY SPENT IS COMING OUT OF MY SCHOOL TAXES !!!! You may not have a problem paying high dollars for your school taxes....but other may !!!

Look at it this way. An $850 chair with a lifetime warranty will last a long time. Anyone ever buy one of those cheap $100-200 chairs at Office Depot or Office Max? They don't last. You get what you pay for.

Correct IndianFan. My employees used to buy the 150.00 office max chairs and we would have to replace every year. We started purchasing the more expeinsive chairs the past 4 yrs and we haven't replaced one yet.

You cannot make some understand or ever understand business logistics.

Just for the record--the warranty only covers mechanical parts such as the casters (usually less than $10.00 to replace). It does not cover normal wear and tear. No one said to buy cheap seats that fall apart that I can recall--just show a little prudence and take bids on good quality chairs from several vendors and let a committee choose what to purchase and not just one person. After all, 16 chairs at $850.00 is costs us $13,600.00 and 51 some-odd chairs at $478.00 cost $38.950.00 and that's not counting the $300.00 trash cans. Seven floor mats alone were $6,600.00. Total for the chairs only was $39,568.00.

I agree w/Squaw !!!

Priorities are not in the best interests of the students and their education!!! Ridiculous expendures will not have an excuse greatest enough to pass alot of peoples feelings and opinions !!!! I'll ask again, does the pressbox restrooms have a bidet in them ?

Maybe it does, who knows. Perhaps we could reconstruct the old restrooms for the complainers to use. Everyone knew how much would be spent on the stadium before the bond passed.
