Home Stadium Overview
At a capacity of roughly 7,000 spectator seats, a home stadium at each high school will provide a substantial increase from the current capacity of the sub-varsity stadiums and allow for 6A crowds. Compared to Northwest ISD Stadium’s capacity of more than 9,000 spectator seats, the home stadiums will provide the needed capacity and a community atmosphere.
When High School #4 opens, the scheduling demands of four 6A high schools will be challenging for the current NISD Stadium. If approved, Proposition B will provide a 7,000-seat home stadium at Byron, Eaton and High School #4. In addition to home sporting events and marching band competitions, campus and community events such as pep rallies, tournaments and youth sport competitions could take place in the home stadiums.
