Doesn't the City of Central, LA School District use PBK for their designs. I remember the new middle school having design issues that was brought to everyone's attention by the contractor. I think the steel structure was under designed by the PBK hired structural engineers.

PBK has probably been involved in at least half of the major school building / ISD building / school stadium projects in Texas in the last 10-15 years. This is not some rinky dink outfit.

That having been said... PBK also has a pretty extensive lobbying presence. Most school board members of ISDs of any size probably have received a campaign contribution from PBK.

This was such a major stadium project, I do wonder if it was out of their "league", so to say. Perhaps for a stadium this big and expensive, the ISD should have gone with a company that does college and pro stadiums.
