BATON ROUGE - Since Broadmoor Middle School's closure in 2019, vandalism has plagued the school and it has become an eyesore for residents.
In 2018, voters approved a $15 million tax plan for Broadmoor Middle. Now, the East Baton Rouge Parish School System is ready to revamp it by turning it into an E-Sports Arena and Multiplex Gym.
"It's going to be a state-of-the-art E-sports lab for our E-sports program, as well as an athletic facility for our elementary schools," Superintendent LaMont Cole said.
School officials say with over 50 E-Sports teams in the city-parish competing monthly, the enhancement will provide more space to host drone tournaments for students. It will also provide STEM programs.

As for the sports arena, it will be dedicated to elementary students. The facility will host basketball, volleyball, indoor soccer, and sports camps. It will also feature a track for schools to practice on.

Now don’t tell me we aren’t paying too much in school taxes.
They have more money than they need.

Has it really taken the school district this long to come up with a plan for taxes approved in 2018, or was tax plan to do something else with the school? The school was closed in 2019, so I can’t believe a $15 million voter approved tax plan was required to keep it open for just one year.

I've always thought that thing looked like a prison, even when it was new. Now it looks like an abandoned prison. Gonna be hard to build something uglier there. I'm sure EBRP will give it their best shot!

Just demolish that ugly sin

Midnight basketball anyone?

Will the sports complex cost money to go to?
Is this where people sky scream about having a public(?) school closed and converted into something for the rich peepo?

I bet the neighbors are going to hate it with all the added kids and traffic. Especially all the Dodge Chargers doing the burnouts in the parking lot.

Our school system needs a sports complex? Don’t we have BREC for that?
