Texas High School Builds $60 Million Football Field

Allen, Tex., High School Builds $60 Million Football Palace - NYTimes.com

Allen is a relatively affluent suburb north of Dallas, with a professional hockey team (the Americans of the Central Hockey League), a church seemingly on every corner, several strip malls and rows and rows of brick houses, which line the subdivisions that dominate the landscape.

The high school, which more closely resembles a small college, remains the centerpiece. Its athletic center contains the football team’s offices, an indoor practice field, a weight room, a film room and separate locker rooms for football, soccer, basketball and track. A picture on the wall near the expansive trophy case features the students who accepted college athletic scholarships last year — 44 of them.

This is not the biggest - there are four larger high school football stadiums in Texas.  As they say, everything is big in Texas.

A bond proposal (to pay for it) shows how the stadium will look.

China to create largest mega city in the world with 42 million people and other environmental news | Greenlaw from NRDC China's Blog | Switchboard, from NRDC

Chinese city planners have announced a plan to merge cities surrounding the Pearl River Delta to create the world’s largest metropolis.

The plan has been dubbed ‘Turn the Pearl River Delta Into One’, and will see nine cities combined into an urban area two times the size of Wales. The area is located on the Chinese mainland north of Hong Kong and Macau and includes the cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Dongguan, Huizhou, Zhongshan, Zhuhai and Zhaoqing.

The area spans some 16,000 square miles and accounts almost 20% of China’s economy. Once merged, the heavily industrious mega city will comprise an urban area more than 25 times the size of Greater London.
