And it's not just a field. They have a whole facility there for the various teams.

Most of you guys are way off base. Most PTA associations do one fundraiser a year as part of PTA. This has nothing to do with the district and it is school by school, not district. This is where parents and teachers come together to purchase mutually agreed upon items that will help that particular school, again not district. They typically solicit the donations, rather than having the kids have to sell candy bars and crap like that. It is actually a better way to do it. The district can't because of stupid Robin Hood laws.....

Id be more curious to hear how much revenue it draws. Have those numbers ever been released? Appears to be pretty **** packed in those photos. How many games do they host? I assume not just varsity or football? How many other cities do they host? Concessions, parking? The city had no control over the cracking and I suspect it is probably still in litigation? Someone will pay for the repairs be it the GC or the architect/ Structural engineer or both. Oh yeah as people mentioned the city voted on it and I suspect local business thrives on game days.
Unfortunately playgrounds do not create revenue. I know that is a crappy thing to say but unfortunately its reality. I would hope they are pushing more to local business for donations.
