The $62m question: does a high school really need a professional-style stadium?

The article discusses the $62 million, 10,000-seat stadium built for a high school in Georgia with fewer than 2,000 students. The Buford Wolves' new stadium, Phillip Beard Stadium, is not the largest or most expensive taxpayer-funded student stadium in the United States, but it is considered the most luxurious. The article raises questions about America's priorities in sports and education, as the construction of such a lavish high school stadium raises concerns about the allocation of resources and the balance between athletic and academic investments. The article suggests that the construction of this professional-style stadium for high school students may not align with the broader educational and community needs.
