The earlier layer is where most of the pipeline sits: as of July 2026, Sympl Signal tracks 457 public athletic field projects in Texas, and 115 of them have not reached a bid board yet. Those show up first in funding approvals, capital plans, board minutes, and design contracts.

How early are athletic field projects visible in Texas?
