It's more important that schools put more money into athletic programs than art programs


http://www.businessinsider.com/texas-high-school-football-stadium-2016-5

Voters in McKinney, Texas, have approved the funding for a $62.8 million high-school football stadium, according to The Dallas Morning News. It will be the most expensive high-school stadium in the country.

The venue, seen above in an artist's rendering, will seat 12,000 fans and be the home to three area high schools in the suburb of Dallas.

The funding is part of a $220 million bond for the McKinney Independent School District that will go toward repairs and upgrades of existing facilities, as well as the construction of the new stadium and an attached events center.

Amazingly, this will be the third stadium in Texas to cost at least $60 million.

Sports equipment need to be efficient or else athletes risk injury and low morale , however, there's a larger demographic for art since you don't need to be physically fit to get into art.

Uhh its Texas, they take high school football very seriously

I guess its just a foreign concept to me that 12000 people would go to a football game...

a strong sports program is arguably more valuable for a school's reputation than a strong arts program. higher reputation => more demand => more revenue => more money for arts. Rising tide raises all ships, etc

at least that's how it would work in theory, I don't know the data on this so I could be wrong
