[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School will need 200+ million dollars of renovations if it is made into a traditional HS.  No way that gets done in less than a year.  Part of the reason you are starting to hear about magnet options is that it would allow them to open the school on a small scale and fulfill their promise to open in 2026.
I’ve heard from 4 people who have toured the school and all say if it’s made a traditional school they will need 2 full years to renovate and make additions to athletics facilities.[/quote]
Lady, you can have a high school without a football field. Especially if it's only two grades the first year.[/quote]

DP.  That’s a non sequitur.  If it’s two grades at first, they might just have a JV team initially but they’ll be some parents who’ll absolutely throw a fit if the school doesn’t have a stadium with lights, bleachers, goal posts, etc. [/quote]

Once more:  I remember going to games at neutral fields because a school was either building or renovating their stadium.  It may have been for a Spring sport.  They use a field that is not being used that night.
People will not throw a fit.  Believe me.  And, they will fundraise for it.  One thing people support is sports.[/quote]

Where was this?  I’d be very surprised if it was an FCPS high school.  [/quote]

Well, I asked google:

No, Westfield High School in Chantilly, VA, did not have a stadium when it opened; the school's football field with bleachers and a stadium were built and added after the school opened, with the main stadium construction happening years later.
 
Details 
Westfield High School opened its doors in 1995.
The athletic fields, including the football field, were in place when the school opened.
However, the permanent stadium with extensive seating and facilities came later, with the main stadium construction and improvements taking place in the late 1990s and early 2000s.[/quote]

Again, different situation.  KAA does not have all the athletic fields today that Westfield or South County had when they opened, much less the permanent stadiums. [/quote]
