Ashikaga Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Would anyone know the largest, second largest, third largest, etc., high school football stadiums in Houston? I don't mean physical size, but how many people that can be seated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any bigger than that one?Berry Center Stadium in Cy-world can seat 11,000. Are there any bigger than that one?I take that back. Stallworth Stadium in Baytown has 16,500.

uncertaintraveler Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I don't know the exact number, but the Midland-Odessa stadium can probably seat 15,000 or so rabid fans in reasonable comfort...and probably fit in another two to three thousand if they don't mind standing. I believe the stadium is now called "Grande Communications Stadium." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedScare Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Pasadena holds 16,000, Tully holds 15,000 and Delmar holds 12,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trophy Property Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Pasadena holds 16,000, Tully holds 15,000 and Delmar holds 12,000.Isnt Delmar the stadium at 290 and 610 by Northwest Mall? I think that is the stadium they are talking about re-doing for the Dynamo permanent home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Yo, what's the closest high school stadium to downtown?The closest field would be Skip Lee Field at St. John's School on W. Alabama. The closest substantial stadium would be Delmar. And, yes, Trophy Prop., this is the one they are talking about renovating or replacing for the Dynamo.

Where do they play there home games. It seems to me that would be a stadium located somewhere inside the loop. Maybe not though. HISD would probably sell anyway !!

Stallworth Stadium in Baytown has 16,500.Stallworth Stadium is my old "stompin grounds" from back in the day. You can cram well over 20,000 in there. Back in the 80's, Baytown would close up at about 5pm to go watch what has become known as "THE GAME". That is when Baytown Sterling,<--- my school, plays Baytown Lee. It is a spectacle to behold, and a traffic NIGHTMARE ! We would have to arrive at the stadium at about 3pm in the afternoon, just to avoid it. I can remember looking up at all those people before you get on the field, the noise is deafening, after awhile you drown it out, because you have to focus on your blocking assignment.

KinkaidAlum Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Robertson Stadium on the campus of UH used to be the original HISD Stadium. Do high schools still play there?

TJones Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 That sounds a little like Friday night Lights. Great Book.

I did a Google search and the article I read said that it was the biggest high school in Houston. I assume that that meant how many students that it had, not its football stadium. I haven't heard any of you mention that stadium as one of the big ones. The article said that Milby opened back in 1926. In the span of those 80 years, did its football team ever win state championship? If not state, how many times did it make the playoffs? Was it ever a powerhouse like Cashmere or Aldine? I assume that it has always been 4A/5A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedScare Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 So where do they play? I am not even sure I know where Milby is located?Milby is at 1601 Broadway, roughly at the intersection with Texas 225 in SE Houston. It is the oldest and largest high school in HISD.

They play most (if not all) of their home games at Barnett. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=68....04283&t=h&om=1 Note their 2006 Football Schedule http://www.milbyalum.org/2006%20Varsity%20...%20Schedule.htm and see my previous post below: a lot of the east end and southside high schools play at Barnett Stadium.Its just off the south loop between Telephone and Long Dr. it's on the former site of the Golfcrest Country Club (1926-1970) - before they packed up and moved to Pearland.

Ashikaga Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 They probably play a few "away" games at Dyer...I guess that, technically, even if two high schools play their "home" games in the same stadium, if they play each other for a game in that stadium, one of them has to be designated as the "home" team and one as the "visitor".

Now that I see the layout It clicks, but I guess I just figured it was one stadium.I remember running track meets at dyer back in a past life...They used to run track meets at some pretty weird places...IE: seems I remember cross country meets on braes bayou, hermann park, some schools, etc.. We ran our state meets in Austin at some large campus. I was in the band all through school, and went to HS at Westbury. They had nearly all their games at Butler, which was pretty close by.

Ashikaga Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 They probably play a few "away" games at Dyer...Over here, almost all high school football games are played on Friday nights. If two schools use the same stadium for there home games, then one of them will hold its home game on Saturday night if the other school played in the stadium the night before. Now that I've learned that HISDs football stadiums are shared by two or more schools, does that mean that about half of HISDs school play their "home" games on Friday nights and the other half play their "home" games on Saturday nights?

There are a few schools that have seperate facilities for 9th grade. Elsik and Hastings come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
