Texas Bob - are there stadiums in Texas larger than 10,000 in which only 1 school uses or is responsible for?

 

There are few one school stadiums at or near 10,000 capacity. I can't think of any larger with just one school. Some small towns do have stadiums with a larger capacity than the town population.

 

The number of schools does not always mean large stadiums. The School District I live in (Katy, Texas) has five 5A schools and the stadium only holds 10,000.

 

Ratliff Stadium in Odessa, one of the larger stadiums in the state, has only two schools that call it home. Odessa High School and Permian High School These schools have about 3900 enrollment at Odessa and 3300 enrollment at Permian.

 

Most 5A that share a stadium also have small stadium at each school for sub varsity games.

the guy talked about valdosta - it was recently featured on ESPN - check out the facilities - it is hands down the best funded program in AMERICA - period

$500,000 in season tickets per year Valdosta Football Stadium

 

and check out the rest of the facilities on the facilities link as well - and also check out the slideshows of the renovation process that took place last year. There is nothing I know of that can touch this.

 

keep in mind the texas stadiums - at least some of them house more than one school which is not the same as 1 school for 1 stadium. TExas Bob - are there stadiums in Texas larger than 10,000 in which only 1 school uses or is responsible for?

My Father played at Valdosta. They used to paint wildcat paws in the street in front of all of the starters houses. Their stadium is so nice that the NCAA Division II National Champion VSU Blazers play their games in it as well.

Valdosta has unbelievable facilities.

Ya know, even if several schools share a stadium there's still something to be said for a community willing to build a 20,000 seat facility, since there's only going to be one game going on there at a time. Maybe a more interesting question would be what percentage of capacity do the largest stadiums experience during a season? If for instance Ratliff typically only draws 5000 per game, but Bradley Central draws 9000, then the stadium size isn't a good indicator of community support between the two schools.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
