NOT unnecessary. We had 11,000 for a district game (not even a playoff game) this year. Lots of playoff games are held at Texas Stadium (where the Cowboys play) and crowds of 30K are not unheard of there. two big powers met in the playoffs at Texas Stadium a couple of years back and there were over 50K in attendance!
most folks who move here are just stunned at the breadth and depth of high school football fever here (and are quickly caught up in it). high school football is WAY more important here than college ball -- and the state loves college football passionately.
