Allen's new stadium

18,000 seat, looks great, bowl configuration, sunken field, should hold the sound in.

I was thinking about whether they would be able to fill the stadium, then started doing the math. with 4000 students grades 10-12, and another 800 or so in 9th, that's plenty to help fill the student side, then the community and parents.

Should be an easy sellout minus the visiting stands, so they should average 14,000 + for home games.

Now compare that to some colleges, they will average more than Texas State, North Texas, and probably every 1-AA college in the state.

then think about the country. With the exception of Montana State, which has that 23,000 seat stadium, the Eagles will probably average more fans than any 1-AA college in the country.

Artificial turf, now think about Allen's stadium as a playoff destination. I don't know anything about how much they charge, but Allen might be a tremendous draw for playoff games.

It could become the #2 destination in the metroplex behind Cowboys Stadium for HS playoff games.
 
Good points and I agree with your statements. I live in McKinney and know Allen has a deep fanbase in their feeder schools and in their community. They should have little trouble keeping that stadium filled or close to it. I heard some talk on sports radio the last couple of days about this new facility. This will be an exceptional HS stadium - on par with SL Carroll and maybe with a program or two around Austin or Houston.
