Does anyone know which high school in Texas lays claim to the most expensive football field? I'd like to know more about this detail. What's its special appeal or facilities that make for such a cost?
The title of the most expensive high school football field in Texas goes to Legacy Stadium, part of the Katy Independent School District. Completed in 2017, the stadium cost a total of approximately $70.3 million to build.
The stadium is equipped with many high-end facilities to justify its cost. It has a seating capacity of 12,000 people which includes premium seating in a multi-level press box, with several dedicated spaces like film rooms and coach's offices. In addition, the stadium features a state-of-the-art video scoreboard, and the facilities surrounding the field include areas for shot put, discus and long jump, a 2-story field house, and ample space for parking.
What's more, the facility is not limited to the district's football programs. It's designed to hold a wide range of district and community events, like graduations and band competitions, making it a versatile institution for the Katy community. The cost is seen as an investment in the community rather than just expenditure on a sports facility.
