$60 MM High School Football Stadium Falling Down

Fixing structural problems at Allen Eagle stadium may require demolishing major components — possibly in areas that include the athletic field, a preliminary forensics report says.

The report found that cracks at the stadium may be caused by poor concrete work and improper structural design of reinforcing steel.

“The cracking has decreased the service life of the structure and potentially decreased its structural capacity,” the report from Nelson Forensics said.

Last month, safety concerns led Allen school district officials to close the stadium, which opened less than two years ago.

Nelson Forensics outlined its preliminary findings on the $60 million stadium in a Jan. 15 report that was released Wednesday to The Dallas Morning News after an open records request.

I think you used the term "falling down" pretty liberally there.

But yeah, the construction company is going to feel some pain.

I for one am proud that our American commitment to corruption transcends our so-called "red states" and "blue states." AMERICA! FUCK YEAH!
