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.
