Eagle Stadium (Allen, Texas)


Eagle Stadium is a football stadium in Allen, Texas. It is owned and operated by the Allen Independent School District and is home of the Allen High School Eagles.

History

The stadium opened on August 31, 2012 with a non-district matchup between Allen and Southlake Carroll, who at the time was the defending 5A state champion. In a mild upset, Allen prevailed 24-0 en route to its own state title later that year. The Eagles are undefeated to date when playing in Eagle Stadium and have won four state championships playing at Eagle Stadium.
Eagle Stadium is notable for its size and its cost of completion. The 18,000 seats include 9,000 home-side seats, 4,000 end-zone seats for students and general admission, and 5,000 visitor-side seats.
Beneath the grandstand there are spaces for wrestling, a golf simulator practice area, and a weight room.
The final Texas vs The Nation college football all-star bowl game was held at Eagle Stadium in February, 2013.

Cracking and temporary closure

On February 27, 2014 the stadium was closed due to cracking in concrete to ensure the safety of visitors. All future events were canceled until further notice. In a letter to the design and construction companies for the stadium, lawyers for the school district cited “construction failures” that exacerbated “already deficient design.”
Repairs costing more than $10 million were made at the expense of the builder and architect, and the stadium was officially reopened on June 5, 2015 for graduation.
