Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 1758697, member: 622"] Hard to believe it when there are so many other education issues to be addressed with limited budgets. I understand why - These places are proud of their HS football - but excessive spending isn't justifiable until the other issues are addressed and the stadiums will pay for themselves. And, no, higher taxes won't help, it will only encourage the outrageous spending. There is one point about Texas HS football stadiums that should be made clear, most districts have multiple teams that share a home stadium (Think NY Giants and Jets). When one considers what would be spent by each and it is combined, that helps alleviate some of the spending shock. My local stadium (New Caney) hosts two class 4A teams (No, we will not compete with Katy or other elite schools in Houston) and is expected to double over the next 15-20 years. All will use the same stadium. [/QUOTE]
