Gotta love it... It's is the most expensive High School football stadium in the world, running in at $72 million and still accumulating costs. Meanwhile the local elementary schools are over crowed and the school board can't figure out how to pay for a new planned school after spending an additional $12 million in surplus on the stadium..
Fucking idiots..

They spent $72 million on something that will make every dime of the $72 million back over it's lifetime.
The football stadium and basketball arena are the ONLY structures on campus that generate revenue.
People buy tickets to the games, buy snacks and knick-knacks, pay for parking and the schools sales ads on the scoreboard, stadium, etc...
It will create a Friday night bonanza for local restaurants, bars, hotels and other small business; thus helping the local economy.
Think bigger.
