The World's Most Spoiled High School Football Team

Allen High School is like many in the United States. Students go there to learn, grow, and realize whether or not they're going to be shitheads for the rest of their lives. One thing that sets Allen High School apart from the rest of the US's educational system is its football stadium. Whereas most high schools might have a small scale field with some bleachers for parents to come watch their kids, Allen High School chose to spend a little more with their venue. How much is a little?

Try $60 million. But hey, it's not like the US is lagging behind the rest of the world in education.

Though this explains why this walking hairdo is seen as a viable presidential candidate.

If that doesn't sound like a lot, the Huskie Stadium, home of Northern Illinois University's football team cost a mere $17 million (adjusted for 2015), and still holds 8,000 more people than Allen's Eagle Stadium, whose capacity is 18,000.

So where did all that extra money go? More than likely all the amenities that Eagle Stadium boasts. Amenities such as a weight-room, wrestling gym, a 75-foot video screen, a Chick-fil-A, and a golf simulator inside of the sunken basement because why-the-fuck-not?

But hey, this was totally better than paying 120 teachers for a decade.

Just to drive the point home, the turf is probably just shredded textbooks.

The situation is made all the worse by the fact that the school district itself is well aware that it will never ever recoup the costs of the stadium, their only defense being that the stadium will last for decades. Or at least they thought it would, until they had to close it in 2014 a mere two years after opening it, due to cracks in the concrete and shoddy build-quality.

But don't worry, another $10 million fixed that issue up.

All of this just to be Texas's fifth largest high school football stadium.
