The Dallas Morning News is reporting that Allen's $60 million dollar stadium is paying-off in the form of a huge increase in season tickets.

According to today's story on the SportsDay HS blog, the Allen ISD says it will sell 7,500 season tickets for the new 18,000 seat stadium.  That's up from 2,500 from last year.

Allen will open the state-of-the-art facility on August 31st when the Eagles host defending Class 5A Division I champ Southlake Carroll.
