The entire Home side is reserved seating for season ticket holders...with a waiting list of a couple of years to aquire one. That should tell you how marketable the team is.

Im sittin up here thinkin "their new stadium will make our college stadium look like poo"... :tdown: lol
They can really say "I played in a HS stadium thats bigger than your D-I stadium".. :lol:
The biggest stadium I've been to here in Mississippi is Tupelo High School and that was a long time ago... even down in the Jackson metro area (Madison, Ridgeland, Clinton and those well off suburbs dont even have stadium that come remotely close to the TX schools... heck they dont have football programs that can compete with South Panola or even Clarksdale High for that matter lol.

Who doesn't?
He did not mention the core subjects or academics.

True. And still a shame compared to the imputus on academics. It is probably a sound investment
Going to college (facilities) will seem like a step back for these kids.
I live in Allen and voted 'YES' on this proposition. I am excited for the kids of Allen and the surrounding area.
I am not trying to rain on this fabulous facility, but seriously, does anyone have information on the academics there?
Allen High school is currently 10th through 12th, and school officials simply continue to build onto the current school.
That must be nice. Any allowance for the community to use the facilities in any way?
Allen High School home football games average ~12k plus per game. Lack of seating kept many away.

It's a extremely high academic environment with tons of AP, IB and other advance placement courses. There is a satelite campus of the local community college on the high school campus with technology centers from Cisco and others onsite. It has a college feel to the campus. Everything that is needed for academic success is on hand. You can truly take college courses while in high school.

Academics are not a problem. The school system is great for all races.
He must be smoking that good good.
I actually smiled.
Really I feel that a great sports program can improve academics at high schools.

:shame: Plano beat LaMarque in the 5a championship game in 86 too. Theres no way a school that small should've been going up against a Plano. If these schools were in the SWAC, they would be in the upper half enrollment-wise.
:lol: @ those steroids accusations. There are still people down on the water who swear up and down that Stephenville was on steroids.

You had a mega school in Fort Bend named Willowridge but the powers that be broke that up overnight.....now the school has 4A numbers and another school 3 miles away who can't grow also...
In Houston, they don't believe in mega high schools...as soon as an area grow....new school

They will NEVER build a second high school in Allen Texas.... They will just add on to the school.... The last school board member that suggested another high school was run out of town

Yep. You are sure right about all of that. Ft.Bend added too many schools in one area in my opinion. Willowridge came along when you only had Dulles. Then I think Clements which serves First Colony area in SugarLand anyway and Stafford were the only schools on that side of Hwy in Ft. Bend. Then Elkins opens up, then Hightower, then FB Marshall. I forgot that old school that was open back in the day in Mo City. The white hs close to Lake Olympia that ended up being an alternative school if I am not mistaken. Right by the golf course.

I was a 2nd semester soph when a pharmaceutical rep who represented Odessia Permian and Plano Sr high advocated an anabolic prdct. Those were the 2 biggest players in the early 80s as far as football is concerned, along w/ Temple and us and interestingly Denton. :read: C'mon now... roid usage here back in the gap was real. Those dudes looked to be 28 y/o grown men. There was this one school we went up against I SWEAR I actually thought it was the actual Dallas Cowboys. lol They did their initial o-line shift and they had a guy in the middle they referred to as "manster." Arms were bigger than my 2 of my whole current fat body. lol
I don't personally know anyone from Stephenville but I've *cough* *cough* heard about some of the steroid situations down yonda'

that was Quail Valley Middle School....it reopened....the few whites there still are holding on to that area hard as they can't get what they paid for in terms of home values...
Fort Bend did this..
Missouri City High (closed, turned into middle school)
Dulles - whole district went there
Willowridge - split the district in half, opened up as an all-white school but became the area where blacks moved to...became FBISD's most successful school until jealousy
Clements -hurt Dulles
Kempner - hurt Clements
Elkins (off Highway 6) - hurt Dulles real bad...but the district began to favor them as they rezoned 4 neighborhoods 2 miles to Ridge and they competed right away
Austin - hurts Clements
Hightower - killed Elkins and first school with academy so they attracted kids from everywhere....Teal Run starts to grow (before sub-prime mortgages) and negroes who thought they were too good for my area ran out there
Bush - designed to move the blacks who moved from Alief into one area off Westheimer and away from Austin....became a good basketball school but football sucks
Marshall - built to appease black parents who thought Willowridge wasn't good enough for them.. a waste of time as the school never grew and too close to Willowridge
Travis - damn near in Katy of Grand Parkway.....
Sienna High - new school in Sienna Plantation off Highway 6...paves the way for Hightower to become a black school and Elkins will suffer
