\"Allen<\/a>It’s no secret that in the midwest and southern parts of the United States, high school football is HUGE.<\/p>\n

So that is why Allen, Texas, a town that’s seen explosive growth in the past few decades, is building a $59.6 million football stadium<\/a> for its high school. The high school is the only one in the district and is over 600,000 square feet and accommodates to 3900 students.<\/p>\n

The stadium is scheduled to open in late 2012 and will feature a video scoreboard, four concession stands, 12 restrooms, and 18,000 seats. <\/p>\n

Of course, the town has to raise money to build the stadium.  And, lucky for us, there’s a batch of photos in their bond proposal showing how it will look once completed.<\/p>\n
