Impressive new facility for the Cajuns

Why is this in the pit?

Red Dot Flamers aren't normally allowed to start threads, but instead of deleting the whole thread I moved it to the pit.

May as well bring in the Allen Eagles stadium in Allen, TX. It opened on August 31, 2013 at a cost of $60 million. That is a enourmous amount but the facility will reportedly be used by the community and not solely by the school district.

That school is geared toward dominance in whatever it does. The community could probably support two high schools but they want state titles so they built a facility that accomodates its approximate 5,000 students in grades 10 - 12. Each grade has its own wing at the school and at the the center is a commons area with a food court. Its band has approximately 600 kids. I've watched Allen play in the old Texas Stadium. When the team did something good on the field and the band fired up, it damn near drown out the stadium PA system. All that is working pretty well for the school as it is now a regular fixture deep into the playoffs.

I know. I hate them. Of course I hate any school that stands in the way of Trinity Trojan dominance!!!

You did the right thing. So the mods have to manually do that? The system can't automatically disallow red-dotters from starting threads?

We don't ban all red dotters. Hogdawg is allowed to start a thread, but as we know it is never taken seriously.

I must spread some reputation around before giving it to Maddawg again.

Take a look at page 42 of the pdf. It gives everyone involved an idea of what it's going to take to make the debt payments on the revenue bonds that will be floated to pay for this project. And at an interest rate of 5.75%.

The student fee involved is only $450,000 per year. So a large portion of the additional season ticket sales and additional annual giving that's been going into that program over the past few seasons will now have to be funneled into paying off the bonds.

The morning show I listen to, Drake and Zeke, reported that Arkansas was opening with Lafayette of Louisiana
