This is unbelievable!
A Texas high school will build a $62.8 million stadium, after the school board for McKinney ISD voted in favor of it.
The stadium will seat 12,000. About $50.3 million will come from the town as part of a $220 million bond, per reports. Katy ISD is also in the process of building a $58 million stadium in Texas. Reminder: This is high school football.
For reference, Tulane’s Yulman Stadium, which opened in 2014, cost $73 million.

Texans love football. That is evident with the millions of dollars voters are approving to build mammoth high school football stadiums.
On Saturday, McKinney Independent School District voters approved a $220 million bond proposition that includes a 12,000-seat stadium and events center that could take 23 percent of the total bond.
LONG HISTORY: Texas schools spare no expense for huge football stadiums
According to the Dallas Morning News, the approved stadium will use $50.3 million of the recently approved bond. An additional $12.5 million left over from a 2000 bond will be used for stadium infrastructure, including roads, water, sewage and electricity.
"We're visionaries," Superintendent Rick McDaniel said of district leaders to the Morning News. "And we believe we have a vision for McKinney ISD that will propel us forward for a long time."
