The Allen Independent School District (ISD) met last night in a closed-door meeting to figure out how in the blue hell they're going to get their three-year-old, mega-stadium figured out and fixed in time for the 2015 high school athletics season.
Two engineering firms are assisting the ISD in the analysis, but the construction company that was involved in making Eagle Stadium was not around for the meeting last night.
The stadium has been closed because of structural flaws and the inability for the stadium to support proper weight distributions of fans and the stadium itself.
Allen ISD is less than pleased that, it looks like, someone cut corners to get the barn up in time. And the ISD are waiting for the appraisal of the damage before giving the construction company their marching orders from this moment forward.

OSG High: $60-Million High School Stadium... And It's Broken...
((HT: WFAA-TV))
Everything is always bigger in Texas...
And football stadia were no different...
The Allen Independent School District and its families voted to built the Taj Mahal- a $60-million facility for its athletic teams. It doesn't work...
The repairs have to do with Rebar, joints, and an inability to actually support the stadium itself on the ground it sits on. And that's not good...
Here's the look from outside since repairs have to go on inside...
Neighboring Plano ISD is renting their facility to the Allen ISD for football season- at $5300 a game...

OSG High: $60M Stadium Closed For Repairs
((HT: WFAA-TV))
The HQ knows all about the idea that high school football stadia are cathedrals in their home towns for fans, students, and parents. But the Allen (TX) ISD constructed a $60-million stadium for the Allen High School football team...
After only 18 months, it is now closed down because of a bunch of cracked concrete...
And that's not a good thing...
For Allen ISD or, especially, the contractor Pogue Construction...
Here's the response from the Allen ISD
Whoops...
