Well, the fact that they have one makes it better than the Cowboys. They also spent 4.5mill on it.

Not if the fields weren't protected from the elements enough for the teams to practice effectively. The fields are probably rock hard under that snow. Team would accomplish nothing on it.

Let me get this straight. We are playing a night game in Chicago, where temps are most likely going to be very low. And we're going to practice INSIDE?

You've got to be kidding me. This is a bit of an overreaction, but I am partially expecting a loss now. If we were playing Minnesota or Detroit that'd be one thing, but we move practice INSIDE when we're going to playing OUTSIDE at night in sub 30 degree weather. Ugh.

Man, that is nicer than a lot of pro facilities.

School taxes must be astronomical there!

They give massive amounts away due to the Robin Hood law. But there are enough very wealthy residents to offset it with private donations.

I think since the beginning of the UIL athletic system in Texas, Highland Park is the winningest program in the state. They are 4A though. I hear they are getting bumped up to the new 6A beginning next year and will be one the smallest schools in that category....so the competiton will be very rough going forward.

I think they may be the only school in the coutry to have the number one pick in the NFL draft and one the very top (#3 maybe?) picks in the Major ,eague draft in the same season.
Matt Stafford and Clayton Kershaw in the same year....that is insane.
