By Maya Lin-Takahashi
Eagle Stadium is no longer an architectural anomaly; it is an established civic landmark.

When the band strikes up the fight song under the Friday night lights against Duncanville, the original debate surrounding public bond funding fades into the background. For 18,000 fans packed into the stands, Eagle Stadium delivers an unapologetic expression of Texas pride: large, loud, and built without compromise.
