Do You Hear The Cheers?


I wrote about this just over two months ago when problems were first reported, but I wonder if the Allen ISD School Board and voters are hearing the cheers?  I might be thinking of how Nefertiti hardened the heart of Pharaoh by asking if he heard the applause after Moses had freed the Israeli slaves.  Perhaps I should not harden the hearts of Allen voters who might vote to rebuild and create an even bigger monstrosity, but you have to continue to wonder what goes through people's minds when they approve a $60M football stadium.

It has become official that Allen ISD will need to find a new stadium the coming football season and will not be playing in their own stadium two years after construction.  Two years!

Again, I bring up the idea that couldn't that money have been more usefully spent....on science and lab equipment?  Information technology upgrades?  Almost anything?

Well, the voters of Allen disagreed and they bought a $60M joke.  Yes, you have a 5A State Championship football team.  Too bad you don't have 5A state championship architects and builders who put children's safety before dollars and cents.
