Hey everyone, I've heard rumors about a crazy expensive high school football stadium somewhere around Dallas. Any clue how much it might have cost to build? I'm just shocked they'd invest so much in a high school facility!
The stadium you might be thinking of is probably the McKinney Independent School District Stadium, which is just outside of Dallas, Texas. This facility reportedly cost around $70 million to build, a number some consider quite shocking to spend at the high school level. It's important to remember though, the funds for projects such as these often come from voter-approved bonds, signifying that a significant portion of the local community believed in the investment. It's not uncommon to see these costly facilities in areas where high school competitions, like football, are a major community event. The debate around this kind of expenditure continues to be a topic of discussion, especially in terms of assessing community priorities and educational needs.
