$60 Million High School Stadium Closed Due To Concrete Cracking

Eagle Stadium in Allen, Texas

AP, via AOL:

A $60 million Texas high school stadium that got national attention for its grandeur and price tag will be shut down indefinitely 18 months after its opening, school district officials said Thursday.
Eagle Stadium in the Dallas suburb of Allen will be closed until at least June for an examination of "extensive cracking" in the concrete of the stadium's concourse, the district said in a statement Thursday. The closure will likely affect home games at the stadium this fall, the district said.
Built in 2012 as part of a $120 million bond issue, Eagle Stadium seats 18,000 people and sports a 38-foot-wide video board. Eagle Stadium's opening was a moment of triumph for the community of Allen, a fast-growing Dallas suburb that has become home to a high school football powerhouse. The Eagles won the Class 5A Division I state championship last year....
Officials said an engineering firm has completed about 10 percent of its review of the stadium. It is expected to recommend "appropriate" repairs, the statement said.
PBK Architects, the Texas firm that designed the stadium, did not return a message seeking comment Thursday.

D'oh.  $60 million just doesn't buy what it used to.  That doesn't look good for anybody involved.  Seriously, though, $60 million for a high school football stadium?
