Bucket List of highschool football games to see at there home stadiums...FNF mag


Recommended Posts

Port Neches-Groves Indian Stadium

To avoid the risk of losing a home vs. home coin flip and playing at Port Neches-Groves for the 1999 Class 4A state final, Stephenville coach Art Briles quickly agreed to a neutral site at the Houston Astrosome. Oops! Stephenville (itself known for a great traditionof fans) had to survive a raucous PN-G crowd of 35,000 of the 40,000 in attendance. Its not a coincidence the largest Texas crowd to see a Texas high school football game is the 49,953 at Texas Stadium for the 1977 state final between PN-G and Plano. Home of the PN-G football since 1951, Indian Stadium, know as The Reservation, is where Port Neches won its first state championship title in 1953. Built with an original capacity of 6,500, several expansions over past decades increasing capacity to 13,000 by the mid-70s. The school's rebuilt $10.2 million stadium re-opened in 2008 ( after hurricane Ike) but its still thought of as a "pit" to play in as a complement from opposing teams who feel as if they've been thrown into a lion's den.

The other stadiums listed are:

Abilene Shotwell Stadium
Allen’s Eagle Stadium
Southlake Carroll’s Dragon Stadium
Celina’s Bobcat Stadium
Stephenville’s Memorial Stadium
Plano’s John Clark Stadium
Brownwood’s Gordon Woods Stadium
Longview’s Lobo Stadium
Weslaco’s Bob Lackey Stadium
Katy’s Jack Rhodes Memorial Stadium
Harlingen’s  J. Lewis Boggus Stadium
Sweetwater Mustang Stadium
