Texas HS Football Stadiums

Has anyone had a chance to see one of these ginormous things up close? I know we've all seen Friday Night Lights at stuff but it's not just the stadium...it's the whole campus.... Bigger than some D-3 colleges.
I'm visiting one right now and the weight room is bigger than the one in the LSU football ops.
The real banger? It's a freakin PUBLIC school.

Not 100% positive but I think in Texas, in lieu of state income taxes you pay high property tax which supports public education.

Yep. Public schools in Texas are about like the private schools in Louisiana.

Everything is bigger over there

Yet at the college level they still can't even get close to making it to the championship game.

Just to give the other side of the coin, I watched a HS football game in Knox City Texas, where there were no stands at all. People parked around the sides of the field and sat in their vehicles.
ETA: I found a picture. They've added a track and a set of bleachers since last time I was there.

Has the Allen stadium been re-opened after the identified structural issues?

Allen, didn't even make this list. There are some very big stadiums in Texas but the ones with history, are the ones we appreciate the most. The Puncherdome,(my home town) is an intimidating place to play(2A football) as well as the "Graveyard" in San Saba. There have been quite a few strange happenings on that field.

Yeah, re-opened this past season and they played in the stadium.
One can not appreciate the massive size of this thing unless seen in person. Crazy thing is public school and was funded by city taxpayers.

I had a lease in Richland Springs a few years back, we caught a few games in San Saba
I didn't know it was nicknamed The Graveyard. It was a pretty cool and unique experience. The crazy fanatic support from these small towns is an experience in itself. I also enjoyed the 6v6 football played in Richland Springs.
