A school district spent 60 million on a football stadium? Big money for something to get fricked up like it has.

Cracks in the concrete due to design flaws in a 60 million dollar facility? Yeah, that architecture firm is out of business

Sounds like the 3rd party testing firm and construction company was way over their head. This will all come down to the insurance company, and if they will honor their bond.

So... can they "fix" it, or will they have to tear out and rebuild the affected sections?

Just clarify, this was "the" new football stadium that was all over national news maybe 2 years ago?

This is a huge construction/civil engineering no-no. No vibrator used when pouring maybe?
