$60m stadium unsafe is due to structural problems, according to Fox Sports. Now, the $60m stadium unsafe in a Texas High School is being closed down.
The $60m stadium unsafe in a high school in the Dallas suburb of Allen is officially closed for the 2014 season. The football stadium was reportedly ordered to be closed down after engineers found major structural problems.
Eagle Stadium is the name of the $60m stadium unsafe. It reportedly made national headlines when it opened just two years ago. The massive price tag even reportedly raised the eyebrows of many as it cost $60 million dollars - such a big price for a small town high school.
The school district announced in March that it had discovered "extensive cracking" in the concourse and they would be closing the $60m stadium unsafe for repairs. Alllen ISD says it won't be a quick and easy fix after further investigation of the $60m stadium unsafe in the high school.
Superintendent Lance Hindt said, "Our commitment to Allen students and taxpayers remains firm that the stadium be repaired properly at the expense of those responsible for the failure: the architect and the builder."
As such, the two-time defending 5A Division I Texas State Football Champions won't get to enjoy its 18,000-seat palace this upcoming season as the $60m stadium unsafe for the meantime. According to reports, the Eagles will be forced to shuffle their schedule and play their home games in Plano.
Allen ISD Board of Trustees President Louise Master said, "While we are extremely disappointed that the stadium will remain closed this fall, we recognize that our priority must be to provide a safe venue for our students and the public."
$60m stadium unsafe was reportedly financed as part of a $119 million bond issue in 2009. It opened its doors for the 2012 football season.
