I think that's twice what the Carrier Dome cost.

Exactly what I would expect from Texas - priorities totally screwed up.

that looks like Uconn's Renschler field!

Carrier dome being built right now would cost about 200 million

Better than the Rent...there is an In-n-Out Burger nearby the HS stadium and the Allen HS fans will be grilling Hoffmann Coneys pregame.

I live like 45 minutes from Allen and saw these plans when they first came out. It's insane.

Note: if you want to teach or coach high school, Texas is a good place to do it. When you retire they take your three highest paid years, average them, and pay you that for the rest of your life apparently (based on conversations with people I work with...specifically about one particularl football coach).

Per Wiki - "In 2010, Site Selection Magazine ranked Texas as the most business-friendly state in the nation, in part because of the state's three-billion-dollar Texas Enterprise Fund. Texas has the joint-highest number of Fortune 500 company headquarters in the United States, along with California.
In 2010, there were 346,000 millionaires in Texas, constituting the second-largest population of millionaires in the nation."

"The region's rapid growth has led Forbes to rank the Austin metropolitan area number one among all big cities for jobs for 2012 in their annual survey."

"According to Travel & Leisure magazine, Austin ranks No. 1 on the list of cities with the best people, referring to the personalities and attributes of the citizens."

I grew up in CNY and there is no place better than TX. I love our priorities!

Good example of how everything is bigger (and better) in Texas. Including our football. Yee haw!

Leads the nation in % of population without health insurance. Business friendly people deadly.

If I could convince my wife...I'd be outta TX in a NY minute. 5 Months in NY, 7 Months in FL.

I'm working on her...hopefully by 2014.

The problem in TX is the vast majority of coaches are jokes as academic teachers...my boys avoided taking classes by 90% of the coaches in their High School.

We are a healthy bunch and the money we save from not having to pay state income tax allows us to pay cash at the emergency room when we get bit by a rattlesnake while out dove hunting.

I was just up there last month and drove by this thing. It's massive and looks much nicer then the Rent.

The best news is the Big East will now have another bowl site choice for a coveted BE #9 vs WAC #2 game.

I have read articles that in Texas it is not uncommon for massive high schools to be built in the middle of no where. Parents and families then visit these schools and decide to move to these undeveloped towns simply so their kids can attend these schools. A major part of recruiting these families is the athletic facilities.

I guess that's why so many are moving to Mass and leaving Texas. All those people voting with their feet.

Ahhhh, are those 1980 dollars they are talking about?

When they built the Carrier Dome beer was $5 a case and you could buy a top of the line Chevrolet for about $4,000.

Great place to live.
