I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but doesn't it seem absolutely absurd to spend $11 million on a stadium when there's a perfectly suitable one a few miles away? Who's to say the facilities have to be identical? Vista has facilities FHS will never have and the converse shouldn't be a problem. Take, for example, the stadium model used in other districts, primarily in the mid-west and east -- one uber-stadium serves all high schools and the other schools have a practice field or somewhat smaller facility. Vista didn't include a stadium because of NOA and the astronomical costs for encapsulating and monitoring. That ground should never be disturbed again yet here we are, the district flush with OUR MONEY blowing a good chunk on something that has ZERO impact on the education of students.
LOL. Really? Common sense? Folsom HS has worked hard to get their football program going and you expect them to let the renters from Vista keep using the place? Somehow they found a million bucks to put a blue turf in (ironic right?) and the "cross town rivalry" is still alive and well!
In Texas they have huge facilities for every high school and what we have here is nothing compared to that.
