Nobody does high school football stadiums quite like Texas.

Over the past decade, there's been a boom in the construction of prep pigskin palaces in the Lone Star State. Facilities costing $30 million-plus have been unveiled on a near-annual basis since 2010.

At least two more are on the way in the Houston area, including the $51.2 million Tomball ISD Stadium and the Sheldon ISD Stadium.
