Engineering and Texas High School Football

The Texas high school football season opens next Friday night and the defending Texas state champs Allen Eagles are without a home. Serious structural problems have closed the stadium for the season.  It appears the citizens of Allen received bad engineering, architectural services, and contracting all on the same project (It only takes one of the three to make a mess with public money - - three out of three with weak school district construction administrative experience and oversight is a disaster in the making.).

From the current issue of Texas Monthly on page 36:

"There's a joke to be made here about our {Texas} architects and engineers being too poorly educated to properly build a stadium because too much of our public funding does to building stadiums."
