Texas High School Football Stadiums ...are some over-the-top?

[DemDAWGS!]

Texas has some of the most incredible high school football stadiums in the country.  I grew up in the northeast and attended an affluent public school (same school that Texan's QB attended).  Our varsity field looks like the JV fields in Texas.  When you look at stadiums like Turner, Deer Park, Woodlands and others ...are they over-the-top dollar-wise for high school?  After seeing the size & atmosphere of Texas high school football stadiums, its no wonder our kids are ready for the college ranks.  I dare say some colleges see LESS people at games than our high schools.

Interesting article on Allen Stadium.  $60 Million!!!

That's no joke. That's a proven fact. I know football players that have remarked on the difference in attendance between the high schools they attended and the colleges they now play for.

Wow....crazy.  I'm looking at Lamar's football field.  It's really not much better than many high school fields around here.  I guess I could add U of H to that list.

High school football is king in Texas and with that comes big stadiums. I say the bigger the better.

In comparison, Kville's stadium looks pathetic  :-[ ;D

And that is a vast improvement on how Lamar's field looked before they almost completely rebuilt it.
