KAHLA FAN 101

Houston Pavilions now has a website.

Pavilions

Here is an OLD render of the project.

The renders on the site seem to correspond with the recent chronicle article about the project, unlike the old image above.

The light rail on main is at the bottom of the picture and it looks like the new Hilton is also in the background.

There are a few more random pictures on the site.

What website did you get this from

Agreed. It's not like Cy-Fair had decrepit old facilities in the first place. Anyone who has seen their "old" football stadium can vouch for that.

Meanwhile, the Legislature just began a Special Session today to try to finance our schools. Imagine that?

I think your wrong I mean you really didn't research this topic. I mean look The Pridgeon staduim is 40 years old. Cy- Fair have common sense if it wasn't for Cy- Fair then my child would have to deal with overcrowded schools. Look I'm not trying to offend you but check this out, children have dreams and if they want to do sports than they should. My child has 8 high school credit and she is only in middle school. So sports is what she wants to do and she can do i it's okay. The staduim is not only for sports if you research and stop getting on people's case then you would have found out that it's for high school graduations. Mainly because percentage of high school dropouts are low!!!! And of course they are going to have Special Session for financing . Almost every School District do that. Why haven't you complain about Houston do that. my daughter research all this. So why can't you

Agreed...even more impressive from the ground. It's hard to get an idea of the sheer scale of this complex until you see it in person. For example. In the picture below...to get a sense of the scale, find the doors to the building at the top of the stairs:

I think the school funding issue goes much deeper than an argument about this facility. You must keep in mind that there are some 10 High Schools that will share 2 stadiums. This facility was built to encompass all of the District's (The 3rd largest School District in the state with over 85,000 students...and the ONLY 'RECOGNIZED' district of this size) special events, football, basketball, concerts, conventions, conferences, etc.

Additionally, Cy-Fair is a Recognized district because it doesn't cut corners and spends money for quality teachers, facilities, etc. It's a big district, second only in size to HISD and DISD...yet it's run a hell of a lot more efficiently.

I believe its extremely important to foster school spirit, parental involvement, community involvement, and broad-based extra-curricular activities. It promotes a healthier environment for the kids and the community.

I agree with you Mr. Football 100% people complain but I remember there was 69 schools with only 1 staduim. Now there is 75 schools and it was time for a new staduim >

Nice hyperbole, 1stWord. That's EXACTLY what I was suggesting...that there are only two choices, a $75 million monument to school board excess or a glass strewn field.

BTW, which one do you think this guy played on in high school?

RedScare whatever your name is get your facts before tell me or anybody that Berry Center kind of filthy because it's not you don't think about the children all this staduim doing is helping the students be better I guess you don't care because in this complex not only has a staduim it has conference rooms and all. I ask daughter like the Berry Center she said yes she can't wait to graduate at the Berry Center. So facts straight because apparently really don't think about the children.

Here are some updated construction pics of CFISD's mammoth new stadium complex, The Berry Center. It contains a new football stadium, arena, theatre, conference center and other amenities:

The Berry Center is very pretty I been there because my daughter perform at the Berry Center gym

I think that is untrue I mean you have to sacrifice for the students. I mean the Berry Center in Cy-Fair was built because the Pridgeon Staduim is 40 years old. Plus the staduim is far and old. There is a purpose why people build not just spending I will think they have enough commonsense. RedScare

I'm pretty sure you're better off comparing individual school zones, as Cy-Fair is so large compared to Tomball.

I think all of you are correct on some things well I can say all things. But CFISD is the best I mean it is growing my daughter is going to Kahla Middle School it just open recently with 1550 students and the capacity is 1500. We have to have to have 8 portables outside so just imagine that's only one school.

So I agree with everyone I'm just adding a little extra.

All in all Cfisd is doing a good job and I look forward to seeing my daughter be the first 9th grader class at Cypress Lakes
