Big Time In Texas

The NFL Network recently showed some prgramming about high school football in Texas. Living around here, it's hard to believe how big the sport is down there.

Allen High School in Allen, Texas announced plans to build a $60 million football stadium complex. It will have a capacity of 18,00 for football and soccer. It will include a two-tiered press box, indoor golf practice area, high-definition scoreboard and a practice room for wrestling.

The school also has one of the largest high school bands in the country with a 600-piece ensemble.

A complex like is more fitting for a Division 1A prgram, but the state is a hotbed for football and a breeding ground for the NFL.
