Me.

I live here and we will be paying the bond off for the next 30 years. It was part of a bond issue about five years ago. It was a $110 million dollar bond for 'School Improvement'. The actual cost of the stadium was hidden in that total.

I voted against it. It was too expensive. The bond passed somewhere around 75%. A lot of people are very disappointed.

The good news is that the builder has a good reputation and they are willing to work with Allen ISD to fix the issues. I hope they stand by their commitment and fix it. It's a really nice stadium, but I think they spent way too much money building it.
