Over the past decade high school football palaces have been built all across the country highlighted by the $62 million venue at Buford (Ga.) opening this fall.

Another stadium opening in 2025 is Golden Eagle Stadium at Deseret Peak (Tooele, Utah), a brand new school named after the 11,035-foot peak at the top of the Stansbury Mountains. The mountains tower over the football field for a breathtaking view.
