SMG manages, operates and maintains the Ford Park Event Center in the city of Beaumont, Texas, on behalf of Jefferson County.

Thanks Keith, I did not check TABC. Since Ford Park is not CHL friendly, have not been there in a while. Dave

I think Ford Park is owned by Jefferson County and is contractor operated by SMG. The exhibit and arena building with all of the 30.60 signs also has a 51% TABC sign posted on the lobby bulletin board which probably makes it the largest county owned beer joint in Texas. There was also an inappropriate sign on the entry gate during the Southeast Texas State Fair prohibiting weapons under Federal property law.
