This stadium will bring in money for the school district.

And with Robin Hood, a lot of that money will wind up going to poorer districts.

Allen ISD has been on the receiving end of Robin Hood money for years. Neighboring Plano ISD has PAID over $1.2 BILLION in "recapture" since the Robin Hood system was initiated in 1994.

There are football palaces like this all over Texas, many in poor districts, that were paid for with Robin Hood money. Rather than having wealthier districts able to improve the educational experience of their kids, they were forced to fund whatever programs the poorer district chose to pay for. Including multi-million dollar stadiums.
