This Is What A $60 Million High School Football Stadium Looks Like

82. As obscene as that stadium is, I am NOT surprised

The high school I attended was in a small town in Massachusetts. Two sets of seats. Couldn't tell you how many people could sit in it. I think it was given a paint job and some new seat planks to sit on.

The university I attended was at a large university in rural Massachusetts. They had a large football stadium which was essentially two huge concrete blocks with a football field in between. I spent my entire 4 years there and never went to a football game.

Some years ago I went to visit my older bro in a town outside Houston, TX. When he had picked me up at the airport we were driving through the area and my eye spied a football stadium as big or perhaps a little larger than the one at my university.
"What university is that?" I naively blurted out.
"University? That's a high school field!" he replied
"Football is really big down here."

This does not surprise me at all, given that it's Texas. I still shake my head at it though. Half of a voter approved bond for a high school football field. Well, perhaps it will pay for itself in time.
