Texas town building $56 million High School football stadium

A price of $59.6 million might sound like a lot of money for Allen?s new football stadium, set to open in 2012. But this is Texas, and Allen won the state 5A-I title in 2008. Construction costs were approved Monday by the Allen school board. The stadium will seat 18,000, including 5,000 reserved seats. That ties it for the fifth-largest high school stadium in the state. Allen?s current stadium, built in 1976, has 7,000 seats. In recent years, temporary bleachers for 7,000 additional seats have been rented at a cost of $225,000 a year. ?That?s Texas for you,? said Chester E. Finn Jr., president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, a Washington, D.C., education think tank. ?This is, of course, ridiculous in a period of tight money, and the explanation will be that this is dedicated money and can?t be spent on other things. ? But I?m not a bit surprised. If it were Indiana, it would be a basketball arena. ?I don?t think it?s the arms race exactly. I think it?s more of satisfying the community, almost an amenity like a community center. It?s not a bad thing to do, but it?s a very, very weird time to do it.?

$60 million high school football stadium in Texas deemed ‘not safe’ and will close

One of the largest high school football stadiums in Texas will be closed for the 2014 season after being deemed “not safe,” as first reported by the Dallas Morning News.

Documents showed that an analysis from the school district revealed “design deficiencies” that caused cracking of the concrete on the concourse level of the $60 million stadium at Allen (Texas) High. The stadium, which first opened in 2012, will not be used for the ’14 football season.

Partial findings by Nelson Forensics indicate that some support structures were not designed in a way that would hold the weight anticipated on that level of the stadium.

Meanwhile, PBK Architects, which designed the stadium, and Pogue Construction, which built it, are coordinating with Allen to correct the problems with the structure.

Hindt told the Dallas Morning News that the district is keeping tabs on lost revenue and expenses related to the stadium’s issues.

“I can’t speculate whether this will be litigated in the future,” Hindt said. “All I can tell you is we’re going to get the stadium we paid for.”
