Well, high school football in Texas is big enough for Allen (TX) to spend $60 million on a brand new HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL STADIUM. They break ground next month. Wow.
OT: How big is high school FB in Texas?

Allen ISD
Allen ISD has plenty of money for textbooks and enviable educational facilities. They do "everything" at a high level. The citizens are willing to pay for the best there.

I'm not from Allen, so I don't know the particulars of the situation. But I'm guessing a big reason why this bond was passed was due to the other $60 million dollars in the package that will go towards building other things on the campus including an auditorium.
When I was a freshman a new high school had been built in my hometown and the auditorium alone was over $23 million. And now they are going to put in multi-million dollar turf at the football stadium. Pretty crazy numbers to think about.
I'm also thinking that they are going to attract more playoff games and maybe even host out of state programs in an effort to turn this into as much of a money maker as they can.
The plans really make it look like a mini-DKR (where Texas plays). I know football here in Texas is big, but even I was taken aback by the plans. Crazy stuff.
