Texas High School Stadium Pictures
Here is an intersting discussion about high school stadiums in Texas. I know my Aggies suck but I thought we could at least have scoreboard on one thing over Ohio.

As you can see we have our priorities in order in Texas. |

Much ado has been made about the frivolous spending for athletic centers and football stadiums, not just in Texas, but nationwide.
One would think that EDUCATION would be the biggest expense by a large margin. I'm all for having nice facilities as long as it isn't extravagant.
My county school system didn't have stadiums at every school. We had Memorial Stadium on 11th Street (Now LPGA Drive) that hosted all of our games. If you were the late game on a rainy night, footing was going to suck and someone was going to get hurt. Period.
I was shocked when I moved to Ohio and saw that every school has its own stadium. UA High School just replaced their field with field turf a couple fo years ago. Largely by donation of a players dad. Not surprisingly, the kid was named starting QB for the season.  |

Oregon has nothing like that either. My school's stadium is probably the best in Oregon and it looks like a practice field compared to some of those.

my question is where in the holy hell does all this funding from texas stadiums come from? they sure as hell are not getting tens of millions from donations alone. i mean ohio is just as big with football but education is SEVERELY underfunded here and large facilities like that dont exist anywhere in the state. fawcett is the only similar facility. piquas new stadium was an outstanding facility but it would be put to shame by the texas stadiums. so where is this money coming from? i played in delphos which is all football but even then 2 schools varsity, jv, freshman, jr high, and midget all played on one field by a sewage plant with a visiting side consisting of movable wooden bleachers. granted they have made strides with a new locker room and scoreboard but nothing like these texas schools.

Ah yes. I remember going to Delphos. The sewage plant did create a diSTINKED homefield advantage for Delphos Jefferson.

I knew it was something. It actually smelled worse than just a mere sewage plant.
