Considering there is an under-the-radar effort underway to have the current stadium declared a historical structure and given the protections associated with such declarations, my guess is no. I imagine a deal will be worked out to allow it to be modified for use by O'Connell and Galveston College.
It's about time. This was the plan back in the early 1970's when GISD acquired the land. Several community leaders have been opposed to this site as a stadium because it is not central to the district. In other words, it would be inconvenient for students and families without private transporatation to attend games.
Now the big question...will the district tear down Public School Stadium after the new facility is complete?

Never heard of this mall, before my time It's the PCP building here right? I've been in this building a lot, and quite recent. It resembles nothing of a mall on the inside. They've sectioned it off with walls and doors for a variety of clinics. Now that you mention it, it does look of an old mall, go figure
With the relocation of most of the clinical operations formerly housed in the PCP building (Port Holiday Mall) to various sites in League City, I heard that only the second floor of the building will be used now...The first floor will remain mostly vacant and used for storage. Another sad end to a Galveston building.
I remember shopping at The Fair as a kid...slow slow cashiers stand out in my mind the most. Wasn't there also a Craig's in the Port Holiday Mall?

Regarding the Bath Avenue Free School photo (25th and P) ... part of the foundation of that building was incorporated into the building currently on the site. The cornerstone is visible on the northwest side of the building.
