Buford High School is not only one of the best high school football teams in the state of Georgia, but the entire country. The Wolves will play this upcoming season at a brand-new stadium that cost a cool $62 million to build from the ground up.
It puts most small colleges to shame!
Buford, located approximately 40 miles from Atlanta, consistently ranks as one of the top top-25 high school football programs in the United States. The roster typically lists more than 160 players ranging from freshman to seniors. Approximately eight percent of the student body plays football at a school with a total enrollment of 1,900. At least. Few things are more important than Friday nights.
With that in mind, the Wolves do not mess around. They have two separate fields used only for games— one for junior varsity and one for varsity. They also have six different practice fields. SIX!!!
The old football stadium at Buford was already near the top in terms of quality.
The new football stadium is out of this world. Construction took approximately 10 months from start to end. All of the finishing touches will get done over the next six-to-eight weeks prior to Week 1. It should be ready for the start of the regular season.
An interior tour of the $62 million high school football stadium features a full press box and multiple luxury suites. However, it is the exterior that really catches the eye. A recent drone video really puts the stadium and its surrounding infrastructure into perspective. Take a look:
A large number of FBS programs that do not compete on the Power Four level play at stadiums of lesser quality than Buford High School. Most FCS schools would be thrilled to play at a $62 million stadium. Division-II and Division-II teams are insanely jealous.
Buford will officially unveil its new stadium at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on for July 27th. Its season-opener will be broadcast on ESPN on August 14.
