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.

If what you are saying is true, that the stadium was funded with Robin Hood money, this is scandalous.

And their logo looks a lot like the Philadelphia Eagles logo, not exactly very popular in these parts.

That stadium is larger than the one at my college alma mater and we’ve got an FCS (Division I-AA) championship under our belts. I know high school football is the second-biggest religious denomination in Texas behind Southern Baptist (and I’m not so sure it’s in second anymore) but a $60 million stadium seems insane, especially if it’s being funded with other school districts’ property tax money.
