nc Ia. | http://mashable.com/2016/05/09/62-million-high-school-football-stad... Hope this one turns out better than the one built in Allen, 10 minutes away.
A high school football stadium was built in Allen, Texas, in 2012. It cost taxpayers $60 million.
Eighteen months later, the $60 million high school football stadium was shut down indefinitely. Cracks in the concrete made it a safety hazard.
That was 2014. Now it's 2016, and voters from a town 10 minutes up the road just decided to finance a stadium of their own.
Again, for high school football. This time, for $62.8 million.
Welcome to McKinney, Texas.
McKinney voters this weekend passed a $220 million school bond proposal that includes $62.8 million allocated to build a 12,000-seat football stadium ("and events center"!) for the school district's three high schools. The bond proposal passed, according to The Dallas Morning News.
“We’re visionaries, and we believe we have a vision for McKinney ISD that will propel us forward for a long time," Superintendent Rick McDaniel told the paper. | |
