STADIUM FROM CINCINNATI:

 

Alton Frailey had been the superintendent in the Cincinnati school district and in DeSoto (Texas) ISD.  He had been an assistant superintendent in Spring Branch ISD before he was hired in Cincinnati.

Here is the stadium that he installed in that city:

Here's the stadium Mr. Frailey came up with when he was superintendent at Cincinnati Public Schools. Look at the amount of the bond he passed!  A big bond and a cheesy looking stadium--no wonder Joe Adams was so anxious to bring him to Katy!

Architects unveiled designs Monday for a new multi-million dollar stadium at Robert A. Taft Information Technology High School in the West End, which will be shared by five Cincinnati public high schools this fall.

The 3,000-seat football stadium, to be used by Jacobs, Shroder Paideia, Woodward, Taft and Hughes Center, will include lighting, a press box, separate locker facilities, concession areas for home and visitors, bleachers, an all-weather eight-lane track and synthetic turf.
The stadium, designed by downtown-based MSA architects, will be named Stargel Stadium after Willard Stargel, who taught and coached at Taft and Walnut Hills high schools and graduated from Woodward, officials said. He died in 1990.
The stadium will also include areas for shot put, discus, long and triple jumps, pole vault and steeplechase.
"I think this is going to be a tremendous source of pride for the students, the school system and the entire West End community," said schools superintendent Alton Frailey.
District officials had budgeted for new fields or field improvements at all the schools but Jacobs, scheduled to close in June 2005, under the district's $1 billion school construction plan. Those fields are still scheduled for improvements during the decade-long plan, but they won't house full stadiums like the one at Taft.
The new stadium is estimated to cost $4 million, instead of the $2.3 million budgeted for Taft. But district officials say the total stadium cost will not increase because money can be used from the other field improvement projects.
