If drawings are any indication, Allen's new football stadium will turn some heads | High School Sports Blog | Sports News | News for Dallas, Texas | Dallas Morning News

This is unbelievable and completely stupid. Why does it need to be that big?

texas high school football is everything to the people in texas.
and with as much money as those big time schools make each year from football, im actually kind of surprised this is the first time seeing something like this. WOW.

May be moving to Elgan Texas... which is a suburb of Austin... when I visted I noticed the hs football St. was flat HUGE!!!!... Here in Victorville, CA pop. 100,000 plus our stadium holds about 5,000 and isrearely sold out on game day... Elgans pop. is very very small... somewhere under 10,000 if memory serves... yet theris holds about 9,500 according to my in laws... neighboring Mayor is even smaller and they too have a giant st basically the same size.

when I did the simple math in my head I figured there were more seats in those two Stadums then in the two towns put together yet my family out there tells me each one is packed on friday nights and then some... unreal.

I'd be interested to see how educational money is divided in Texas... it MUST be differenet than Cali...


oh and based off the drawings it seems like a modren rip-off of Mizous Stadium in Columbia Missouri

if they have the demand to sell 18,000 tickets for a high school football game then why not?

Pizza Hut Park's an MLS stadium that is used for HS football, and Alamo Stadium wasn't built for HS football. Texas Bob is stretching the truth.

I was born in South Bend but was raised in Texas, and other than 4 years of college out of state, I returned back to Texas. Highschool football is Really big down here no doubt. When you grow up here, if you don't play Football you are shunned like a deformed Spartan baby! GO IRISH
