Neurolimal posted:Kids need more activity and guidance for proper exercise, but 62 million dollars for a football stadium a handful of miles away from a 50 million dollar stadium us pretty absurd. Whats the population of this town and what did the other 150 million go to? Most of the rest went to renovating all the other schools in the district as well as building various new facilities and whatever. Looked like a fairly decent proposal aside from the $62m stadium but hey TX wants what it wants I guess.

skander posted:Exactly as Jesus commanded. Well, it's really tough to share because pretty much every game in the state is played Friday night at 7:30 every week. Sometimes when several schools in a district share a stadium somebody ends up having to play Thursday night at 7, but that loving sucks. Saturday is college football, which is basically church, and Sunday is church, so you can't play either of those days.

Jim Barris posted:Texans are so loving weird about football. If I can make a more serious post than is merited, high school football football is a pretty big social event for the community, with generously 40% of the crowd actually engaged in the game. Pretty much every high school is going to have the following at every single game- dance team, cheerleaders, band, those people that wave flags and streamers along with the band, maybe ROTC, and maybe some kind of miscelaneous spirit team that does pushups and rings a bell and whacks each other with pool noodles after every score. They have all of this not just at the home games, they take them to every road game too. And most all of these people's parents go to every game to watch them, home and away. A high school football game is a huge production that probably half the school's students participate in one way or another. It's centered around football, but the football really doesn't even matter that much. Except for a lot of people it's the only thing that matters, just in general.

It might be within spitting distance of the stadium that's already up, but that one is not sticking around. The miscalculated dead load has and will continue to fracture the foundation. An additional live load could trigger a total failure, so there will never be another crowd in there. You can't just glue that poo poo back together. Plus you have to redesign the support columns to properly disperse and support the correct load. It might not even be safe to attempt a disassembly, it will require a total demolition. They're just waiting to see who foots the bill. This gently caress up is covered by professional liability insurance, but the original contract was technically fulfilled so knows if it even qualifies. The firm won't have the money to finance a new one out of pocket and the insurers will try to say it's not their problem. Even if the city sues and wins, they might not be awarded the value that it will take to demolish the current building and rebuild the whole thing over again. So lol Texas. $60 mil for two years of football. If you spent that on making sure your schools weren't poo poo then maybe your architects would know how to add and divide numbers right.

Dreddout posted:Have you ever been to a Southwestern town? There is nothing to loving do, unless you like to get high your only other option is football! These aren't small town cities, they're loving dallas suburbs. There is plenty of other stuff for them to do. And the third monster stadium mentioned is a houston suburb so they don't get a pass for nothing to do either.

I have this idea that the money will be spent locally. I don't know what high school football is like in Texas. There aren't a bunch of assholes getting rich off the students like in college football, right? Its not being swept away to pad the pockets of billionaires like in pro football, right?

Yes there are people making money. Just not legally or officially. We now have agents for high school players they just don't call themselves that. I think one of the Brown brothers that went to K-State had one and it made news because the dude was a little flamboyant about it.

Pawn 17 posted:Do you know the odds of becoming a pro football player? it's like winning the loving lotto. Of all high school football players, only 6.7% go on to compete on NCAA teams (only 2.6% compete in D1). Of that 6.7% that makes it to NCAA teams, only 256 players are drafted by the NFL. That's 1.6% of NCAA players. So, yeah, a 0.1% chance of becoming a pro if you play HS football. I don't want your life!
