They've been busting their butts lately to get it done, working in the rain and everything. It will be ready to go, although small things might still be getting worked on through the first few games. Anyone know if they announced anything about HS games? I would love to see some top local teams square off there.

I know they technically can't host any games there, as it is not allowed under the agreement they made with the city/neighbors. Now, i've heard some people say that agreement is not iron clad/binding. But, I'd imagine they'd probably at least honor it the first couple seasons out of good faith.

Probably won't have any HS games there this year just to satisfy the NIMBY's. It would be great to see some good prep teams play there though. Baylor has a high school game being played in their new stadium the night before their home opener. The first event in McLane will be the Thursday that week........Phillip Phillips Concert and pep rally.

It may not be an option, but there have been at least a few late round HS playoff games in the NOLA area that would have greatly benefited from a venue like this.

Looks cool BTW.
