Smith-Robinson to have a new look for the 2023 season.

The long-rumored town tall-tale of Smith-Robinson becoming a enclosed stadium is finally becoming a reality. Announced this week along with the construction of the new video-scoreboard, the athletic department made the decision to make the most substantial improvement to the stadium since having Chick-Fil-A sold near the Bulldog Foundation billboard.

The building on the exterior will look strikingly similar to the Anderson Fieldhouse in Bullhead, Arizona. “I did a search on Ask Jeeves! and was like, ‘Well I am copying that'” said a local architect on a condition of anonymity. The construction for the building has begun with a completion date before the Spring Football Game.

Funding for the build was provided by California based Silicon Valley Bank. Once the funds were secured through the FDIC, it was full steam ahead. The project has a working title of the “Dustin Dome” named after the yearly Award-Winning Athletic Director Dr. Dustin Smith. “This was a passion project of the late H.B. Stewart after he oversaw the construction of the arena that carries his namesake. We were looking in a Bankers Box of stuff with Ms. Skaggs and we found this drawing on Hardee’s napkin of how to enclose the Stadium. I felt like Nicholas Cage on National Treasure. Have you seen that movie? It was amazing the way they tried to find stuff on the Declaration of Independence. Just a complete Oscar Worthy performance.” Said a School Administrator whose name was withheld.

Local remodeling company Beshears Remodeling & Construction won the bid and was tasked with a tight timeline. “We went in thinking this was a cool idea but I am really sure we are going to be way overbudget and late. The track kids have gotten mad that we had our manlift where the High Jump was, but they have got to understand I gotta work. Their little hopping thing can wait.” Owner Zak Beshears said. “We found the plans on Etsy for a lot of the build, it was $75. You can find us on Facebook at Beshears Remodeling & Construction.”

The School Administrator speaking on the build said “My favorite scene was when they used the Lemon Juice ya know, then it didn’t show up so Jon Voight who is Nick Cages dad in the movie said ‘Use heat!’ so they breathed on it and the symbol for the Masons showed. To me that is a classic piece of Hollywood Cinema.”

Seating capacity is to remain the same once the final build is completed. When asked if the student section chants of “They need water!” and “Start The Buses!” would be louder the builder replied “The what? They chant at the other fans? That is wild.”

Completion of the project is slated for 11-ish on May 25th.
