Eagle Stadium, the $60 Million facility that Allen (Texas) debuted in 2012, will close for the fall, according to a report from the Dallas Morning News.
The stadium, which made news earlier this spring when cracks were discovered in the cement of its concourse, was deemed unfit for public assembly.
According to the report, which cited analysis done by the Allen school district, the stadium support structures are not sufficiently capable of supporting the weight of the concourse level.

Thank the Lord they found this before 15,000 people piled in on a Friday night.
be thankful they weren’t Dam building....dumbasses
Is it under warranty?
the Red Chinese Construction Company which built the place... is... under obama....IMMUNE for American lawsuits
I’ve been amazed by the lack of knowledge on the part of some construction superintendents. I had an interesting time as an inspector on a new school. The super clinched his jaw every time he saw me coming. We constantly had it out over concrete and several other issues. The architect was useless. It wasn’t exactly mano-a-mano for two years. But it was definitely nose to nose mucho times. There was one time I really wanted to say I told you so after the mechanical guy started up a chilled water pump and the coupling teeth were stripped. I walked into the mechanical room just in time to see the super standing there dumbfounded looking at the black pieces laying on the pad under the guard.
I finished that job knowing beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the school will still be standing 100 years from now if they need it.
60 million dollars for a facility that is used maybe 10 times a year.
Ah well. The folks in Allen are rich.
"Just going over to have a word with O'Reilly, dear."
Now there are hundreds of shovel ready jobs to tear it down.
The 60 million is not just for the football stadium. But it is still a huge amount of tax dollars.
They have money, and no doubt hired low wage illegal labor to build it....
I mentioned the chinese as it was they who built the greatly beleaguered San Francisco Bay Bridge...
And the Bay Bridge has what to do with a HS football stadium in Texas?
an attempt at humor
Only if their dumb enough to not have skipped out of the country.

I got it.
Ok, just didn’t get it.
You forgot the /s.
The school has held games for two seasons already.
I wonder if this was the same co that built the new courthouse in Waxahachie that had to be tore down before it opened? Does nobody oversee these projects? Somebody needs to go to jail. Maybe all those mommies and daddies that voted for the project.
