they missed a stadium.


Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls holds 20,000. 22,000 if its Old High vs Rider (standing room only)

Man that Veterans Memorial stadium is horrible when it comes to parking. A Couple of years back I went to the Katy/North Shore game and it was standing room only! I t took over an hour to get out of the area after that game

I didn't think Stallworth was bigger than the Berry Center.

I am curious what the top ten list would like for stadiums that serve a single school?

Allen with their new 60 mil stadium at a capacity of 18,000 would be the largest for a single school. not sure about the rest.

[/quote]He needs to re-update it cause he has the wrong total. It was just 20,000 on that same site for years, that stadium didnt get smaller.

I went to that game once while on business.  Got there at half-time and man what a crowd.  Lot's of black and gold where I was sitting, if I recall right.

Great place to watch a game, with no track and the stands are very close to the side lines.
You are very close to the action.

[/quote]when that place is filled up to capacity you cant hear yourself think.  :o

Pizza Hut park should not be included, the Frisco ISD schools actually play at a staduim adjacent to the soccer stadium...although they host playoff games there...so it's technically, not a HS football stadium

How long has BH been around compared to GCM?
With Lee or Sterling you would have a point.  Horrible turn out for those two, but GCM has only had two graduating classes when that picture was taken I am guessing.
Barbers Hill probably has 8,000 living alumni compared to 800 for GCM.

BH was also a winner last year. 
I went to the Lee game at BH two years ago, wasn't a huge BH turnout.

I am confused on that picture........How did BH end up on the home sideline? There is not a pressbox on both sides is there?

Hey just saying dude get your panties out of a wad!!! ;D

[Honest Abe]

Anyone know the capacities of the stadiums in SETX? I would guess The Butch is the largest, followed by The Reservation maybe??

Thanks.

Good question about how BH ended up on that home side.

I'm not even certain this is a varsity game.  I wonder if it might be the Texas/LA all-star game?

[bh89-2]

I see Stallworth is finally getting parking lot lights......about time.  Maybe had they had them years ago someone may have thought twice about shooting the BH bus with an Uzi.  ::)
