Amazingly, this will be the third stadium in Texas to cost at least $60 million. The McKinney stadium will be just 4 miles north of the $60 million, 18,000-seat stadium that opened in Allen, Texas, in 2012. A school district in Katy, Texas, outside of Houston, is currently building a $62.5 million stadium that will open next year, according to WideOpenCountry.com.
