That’s when the district hired a company called Nelson Forensics to look into the problem. A year later, more cracks appeared - and some were larger. PBK Architects and Pogue Construction blamed the cracking on a natural occurrence, he says. The district first noticed cracks in the concrete in August 2012 when the stadium opened. “This is a black eye for the architect and the contractor and I can promise you, they want to make sure it’s done right and that it’s fixed to our expectation.” “I’ll tell you, this is not a black eye for Allen ISD,” Hindt says. He says the recent developments haven’t changed his perception. At the time, he thought it was “a neat opportunity” for the community. Hindt, who came to Allen from Stafford south of Houston, remembers watching TV news reports about the 18,000-seat stadium when it opened two years ago. 1, that the taxpayers, the board of trustees and the community of Allen had to go through a situation like this.” Hindt first heard about the problems in a call from school district officials the day before they announced Allen Eagle Stadium’s closure. Superintendent Lance Hindt, who’s been on the job less than two weeks, sat down with KERA on Wednesday to discuss the issue. And the football team is unsure of where it will play in the fall. The $60 million football stadium that opened two years ago to nationwide attention was closed indefinitely in February due to major cracks in the concrete.
