A North Texas school district has gotten the green light to break ground on what will be one of the most expensive high school stadiums in the U.S.

Voters there approved, by 62 percent, a $220 million bond program on Saturday that included a little more than $50 million for a new 12,000-seat high school stadium and event center for the McKinney Independent School District, about 30 miles outside of Dallas....

The district said today that the remaining $12.5 million to complete the project -- primarily infrastructure and site development -- would come from a bond referendum approved in 2000.

The district today described the stadium as a multi-use facility with a 500-seat event center to be rented out for banquets and conferences. The district also said that football, soccer and lacrosse games as well as band events would be held in the stadium.

1. The interesting thing is that it's not even the biggest or most expensive in Texas.

$60 million seems to be the going rate these days.
Football is really big in Texas.
