I live not very far where that stadium is! I understand that high school football is a way of life in this state but do they need similar college/pro amenities?

I think for any High School to have a 60 million dollar stadium is border line insanity..Looks like there are more things it could be used for...JMO

I just got back from Allen, and that is a very affluent area, BUT, in Allen or anywhere, it's an indications of warped priorities. You could probably not find anyone who loves HS football as much as I do, but I keep things in correct perspective. HS sports are [i]extracurricular[/i], they ARE NOT supposed to be larger than the real reason schools exist: EDUCATION.

Check out this link to see every aspect of the stadium.  It's impressive and we are a bit jealous here in SETX.

[/quote]I agree that school is for education...... but when is the last time a spelling bee brought in $50,000-$80,000 in revenue a night????.... Since most of our nation’s leaders and most of our nation's protectors (Army, Navy, etc...) played some type of "extracurricular" activity.......... I say that sports not only educate our young adults, but build our nation’s leaders for tomorrow!!!....
In my mind the money is justified!!!!!

Very nice, over the top in my opinion. OK PNG, let's build a roof over ours and be the first HS in Texas with a dome with a retractable roof ;D Seriously, I would think the majority of the guys on here that love HS football would even say that what Allen is doing is over the top. Another thing on Allen is they only have one high school, which I think may be the largest in the state. They are trying to be Plano.  I think Plano, Allen, and Frisco are trying to show each other who is richer than the other.

I personally think its great.  Allen is a great school district with great academics, and this stadium shows they are getting the athletic facilities to that same level.  The Allen administration and community obviously love their football, and their kids, and its showing.  With what they pay, and the facilities they have, they almost guaranteed to have great coaches leading their teams too.

Tatum ISD, where East Chambers ex Andy Evans is, did something similar.  When the new sup, got their he upgraded the schools and put a priority on the academic side of things.  Once that was done, he said he wanted the best facilities in the state for sports (3A on down).  It wasn't just talk, he proved he was a man of his word.  Tatum ISD is first class all the way.

I agree with the money spent wisely issue.  PNG has a very nice stadium that is more than adequate for Championship football.  That said, I am sure that Lamar has a architectural drawings that are similar that would give us better picture than what we have seen so far.

      What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "

      He's with it enough to do what he's told, beginning day 1 when he signed the order to revoke the Keystone Pipeline project.  But more recently, he's protecting the DOJ, as well as himself ...  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

      Most 75-80 year Olds have some type of cognitive impairment. If you are asking if Biden has dementia then my answer is no. That is a Republican talking point. If you all think he has dementia what type do you think he has?
