You're right, some high schools in the US have indeed poured considerable resources into their athletic facilities, including impressive stadiums. Here are some of the most expensive high school stadiums in the country:

1. Legacy Stadium in Katy, Texas: Opened in 2017, this stadium cost about $72 million and seat 12,000 spectators. It's utilized by the district's multiple high schools for football games, soccer, band competitions and more.

2. McKinney ISD Stadium in McKinney, Texas: Opened in 2018, it cost approximately $70 million and can seat 12,000 spectators. It not only hosts football games and soccer matches but other events like the annual convocation, band nights, and graduation ceremonies as well.

3. Eagle Stadium in Allen, Texas: Opened in 2012 with a cost of $60 million, it seats 18,000 spectators. Despite criticisms over the high price tag, the stadium remains a symbol of local pride, hosting football games, band competitions, and more.

4. Woodforest Bank Stadium in Shenandoah, Texas: This stadium was built in 2008 at a cost of $41.5 million and seats about 9,600 spectators.

It's interesting to note that all of these high-cost high school stadiums are located in Texas, a state known for its passionate devotion to football. This high spending has triggered debates about the balance between educational expenditure and investment in athletics. However, proponents argue that these facilities serve multiple purposes and provide venues for community gatherings, school events, and even disaster relief operations.
