You can build things in Texas. A 6-8k stadium in NJ will cost $50MM thanks to “prevailing wage” and no show jobs. To build that stadium in NJ would cost $75MM plus.

Yeah because places like nyc and nj don’t “build things” or sports venues

Kids can't read in Texas and half of them drop out of school but at least the football stadiums are nice.

That's because a lot of them - like their parents - aren't native English speakers.
When millions of foreigners are let in subversively the literacy stats take a dive.
When NY started giving away licenses to illegals, DMV workers I knew were shocked at how many could not read in ANY language

NY and CA are also crashed

Texas always had a high drop out rate and bad schools. Florida, too.

Small world; that's where I live now. They now use this as the secondary stadium to the newer Berry Center stadium that was built in 2006 and seats 11,000.

Beautiful stadiums
That said, along with Afghanistan, Texas is only place in the woirld I think of as ugly.
Indeed back in the 1800s Mexico couldn't get anyone to live in the area and they recruited white southerners - that's a reason they lost it

Nicer facilities than UConn. That would cost $350M up here after the wise guys line their pockets.

I went to high school in Middlesex County's middle-class suburbs, college at Rutgers, law school in Houston and now have nine nieces and nephews who have gone through school in the middle-class suburbs of Houston (and a couple that have graduated from Texas A&M) ....

In general, there is absolutely no difference in the quality of education in Middlesex County, NJ and Harris County, Texas (Houston).

I live fairly close to Melissa. That's actually not bad compared to some other stadiums around here. Few years back McKinney built a 70 million dollar stadium. I keep meaning to go to a game one of these days but haven't made it happen yet.

Seems crazy. None of the articles i saw talked about how they will pay for this. The town is booming but the school only has 1300 kids. Nice facility for the price. RU spent 3x that for the same number of end zone seats and no indoor practice facility.

Yet Texas is what …. Rated 18th overall and we are what? Also Texas has a migrant population in the lower border ( multi language barrier) areas … 3x the population
