Tell me about it. I just moved to Dallas; specifically, we just bought a house in Allen. The Allen High School stadium is one Indiana State would dream of. It's utterly ridiculous and awesome at the same time. Every single game sells out. I can't get tickets unless I "know somebody." The Allen High School marching band has 800 members, too. It's just a complete different world down here.

The crazy thing about this, only one side of the Allen stadium has an upper deck. As soon as McKinney builds its stadium, Allen will expand on its and add an upper section on the East side. They're not going to let McKinney win in anything.

Please tell they don't have suites. Please . . .

They don't that I'm aware of. The 18,000 that show up have to sit in their seats. I would verify that except I still haven't been able to get tickets to a game. Since I just moved here I'm not connected enough to get tickets.

The Chicago Tribune has the article in today's paper, too.

It was a construction defect issue, and the contractor did the honorable (and, probably the contractually obligatory) thing and completely fixed the issues from top to bottom.
