For my audio-only friends: I don't know how well this one's going to translate. Video is posted on YouTube, Rumble, and Spotify.

Friends and neighbors, we are taking you behind the scenes for a construction tour of the brand-new Deep South Ice & Sports Complex in Richmond, Texas! TC Lewis graciously walks Mission Control through the massive construction site to check on the progress ahead of the facility's August grand opening and the NAHL Houston Bulls' home opener on October 2nd. We get a first look at the state-of-the-art main arena, featuring 10 luxury suites, a massive party deck, and a uniquely designed press box that brings the crowd noise straight to the broadcasters. TC also shows off the sites of the facility's massive pro shop, the incoming restaurant and sports bar, the 4-court volleyball center, and the dedicated practice rink featuring seamless sled-hockey access. Houston is getting another world-class ice facility! You've been wondering what it looks like in there, so let's check it out!I was asked not to film workers, so where you see a video loop, or the camera going down - that's where I inadvertently filmed someone working, and edited accordingly.

...and if the mic picked up business being conducted, I muted it. Seemed like the thing to do.

(and I'm learning about exposure - that's not the lights dimming, that's the camera)

Thanks to TC for letting us in!
