Eazy Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I think it's a little crazy for a school district to spend that kind of money on a football stadium for one school. But, it wouldn't surprise me if they fill the entire 18,000 seats on game days. Their band has nearly 700 members and actually requires 1,000 seats with the equipment. The halftime sight alone is worth catching a game. I would think that Allen will be a powerhouse for years to come, unless they eventually split the school into two.
