Must be same architect and contractors. Melissa is up in that North of Dallas urban sprawl with McKinney right on up Hwy 75 toward Sherman, which is really growing too. I remember when Frisco, Prosper and Little Elm were nothing but small towns in those areas. Now they are all 5A and 6A schools with nice state of the art stadiums. Melissa's new stadium was designed after Prospers and McKinney's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already building the second 3 story wing for the awesome high school they have. They are not just doing great things there for athletes but for students and academics too. Bonds can't pay teachers more and can only be used for school buildings and projects. You can just have a bond for technology for students but you can have one for technology wing that includes multiple laptop/Chromebook carts that hold 30 or more in each. So you can go one to one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like the tax base continues to grow -- they had 346 kids just at the high school alone in a two-year span and when Snapshot Day comes in the fall, I bet the increase is bigger than that. You add 700 high school kids alone in a four-span there is significant growth in that area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like it, vote against it. And if the majority don't want it, it won't be built. And if you don't vote, which it seems like A LOT of people in a lot of places don't exercise that right, then you don't get to complain about it.

coachingforfreeclothes Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Love the stadium. It's built for a football/soccer game but I see Prosper, Mckinney and Melissa don't have an oval going around inside. What's with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa's new stadium does have seating in the south end zone below the big video board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrahmasDawg Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 South end zone stands are for the Melissa band and colorguard. Behind the stands are four full size dressing rooms for visiting team during regular season and in order to have back to back playoff games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
