ShowtimeSpicer Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 What's up everyone, I'm new here to the forums. Wanted to share a video I put together on Prosper ISD seeking to build a $94 million dollar high school stadium (if this isn't allowed feel free to remove) Was wondering what you guys thought about this? They just opened a $53 million stadium 4 years ago 😮 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get into stadium construction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggid Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Are the students in that district required to learn math, science, and English, or perhaps participate in music or theater? Or do they just need to know how to hit someone? I’m all for having nice facilities, but how about spend half that, and spend the rest on, you know, actual education or the arts? Seems like some priorities are a little out of whack. They can’t build a a stadium for $50 million instead of $94 million? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cossacks Posted October 16, 2023 Report Share Posted October 16, 2023 Seems a bit excessive and not needed to this degree? Can’t scale it back to something more practical. What I’ve seen on Texas’ Permanent School Fund, looks like the PSF’s has reached their limits and there is insufficient capacity for debt from the state and lots of possibility for un-guaranteed bonds. It’s not my property taxes that are gonna be raised, so sure, hell build two stadiums 😂. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pied Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Rejected by the voters. Appears voters voted against atheltic facility maintenance/upgrades in Katy, Lewisville, Eagle Mountain and Longview. I'm guessing there are others out there as well. https://x.com/FOX4/status/1722253240111436041?s=20 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article a few nights ago about a bond hearing in a particular area for TX schools with plans listed and some planning to build or upgrade stadiums… but nothing like what you posted.

It’s not my property taxes that are gonna be raised, so sure, hell build two stadiums 😂. For one, these facilities are utilized for a lot more than just football games. Many of these new facilities are now hosting BOA and UIL marching events throughout the fall: https://www.uiltexas.org/music/marching-band/area These stadiums need to be large enough to accommodate 20+ bands that are 200+ & 300+ members large. Another fact to take note is; a lot of these stadiums are being shared by 5-8 sometimes 10 high schools within their own school district. Challenger Columbia stadium - is shared by 5 6A high schools in Clear Creek ISD. Clear Creek, Clear Brook, Clear Lake, Clear Springs, Clear Falls. Katy ISD - Legacy stadium is shared by 9 6A high schools along with their older Rhodes stadium. Cypress Fairbanks ISD - To the north of Katy - Same thing 11 high schools share their stadium. There are necessities for the large stadium capacities other than just football use 🙂 That’s just a small portion of 3 of the districts out of the 32 that are involved in the UIL playoffs or schooling competition districts.
