The tower beside Mesquite Memorial Stadium transmits the Mesquite ISD's own radio station, KEOM 88.5 FM, which broadcasts most of games played within and plays music of the 1970s. McKinney ISD Stadium hosts the NCAA Division II Football Championships, while Toyota Stadium hosts the FCS Championship as well as the Frisco Bowl. Frisco ISD plays football at both Ford Center and Toyota Stadium. The Conference USA basketball tournament has been played the last few years at Ford Center, using two courts. The entrance to Schollmeyer Arena reminds me of the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

2:12 UNT Coliseum resembles the old Reunion Arena in downtown Dallas, which was the main arena for the Dallas Mavericks until 2001. It shares a similar "pedestal" look that is not at all common in arena design. Interestingly enough though, UNT Coliseum opened in 1973 while Reunion opened in 1980 - so maybe the city took some inspiration from the college up the road? 11:28 Not only are these balconies, but some were actually originally offices that could be leased out by companies who wanted a unique address. Not sure there's any other stadium in the United States that has offices (other than the team's, that is) incorporated into the building - but tbh, it's an idea that really was ahead of its time. Other teams, especially those who can't get a sweetheart deal to develop and profit from the land around their stadium (like the Atlanta Braves or the New England Patriots), should consider this as a money-generating alternative in their new ballpark/arena. Ground-floor retail at new stadiums is pretty commonplace now, and leasable office space might be the next evolution of that idea, especially for facilities in the downtown area.

As a student of UTA, the first stadium you showed, I should point out that despite us having a stadium, and a field with our logos on it, we don’t actually have a football team. The football program was discontinued in 1985. The stadium is only used for track and field. So yes, as you said in the College Park Center segment, we are a basketball heavy university because we don’t have football..

For those of you outside of Texas, "ISD" such as "Carrolton ISD" stands for "Independent School District." The more you know... ;)
@gregplatt1972 жыл бұрын
“Independent” indicates that the school district is separate from any municipality, county, or state-the school district has its own taxing authority outside the direct control of other governmental entities. Schools in a city or town are not controlled by the city or town government, the Mayor can't tell a school's Principal what to do. The district has a "CEO" in the form of a Superintendent. The Superintendent answers only to a School Board which is elected by the residents of the geographic district. Districts may encompass a single town/city or a larger area and usually takes the name of the town of origin of the school district. I live in a district that covers 3 cities/towns and is named for the larger city that students from the smaller towns were attending because these towns didn't have the resources to keep up with growth of the town. Garland ISD which serves the cities of Garland, Rowlett, and Sachse. Homer B. Johnson Stadium, featured in this video, is owned by the Garland ISD. Garland also has a smaller stadium, Williams Stadium. The 7 high schools of Garland ISD share in the use of both stadiums.

I was in marching band in high school in North Texas so I got to be on the fields for a good amount of the stadiums here. My least favorite stadium to play at by far was UT Arlington. In band the directors always made a big deal to point your instruments to the press box, but as you could see, the stadium is so steep you have to point your instrument in a near 90 degree angle! It resulted in a lot of sore arms I can tell you.

The very first stadium, UT Arlington’s football stadium only exists due to high school football. The university ended their football program back in the mid 80’s. The university still has a basketball team, but it’s hard to call it a basketball school since prior to 2012 the basketball team was playing in Texas Hall, an auditorium. I guess if you want to appear you have a respectable basketball program it helps to have an actual stadium.

This brought a tear to my eye. I've been to nearly all of these stadiums, but its the high school stadiums that got me welling up. My father was a High School Football coach and I played throughout high school as well, and I've been to all of these stadiums (except the ones built after 2015), either playing or watching my Dad coach. So many hot nights, listening to the bands playing their fight songs, seeing the teams come out and break their banners as they ran onto the field, and hugging my dad as he came off the field to meet me and my mom. On our way home from the games we'd turn on the radio to listen as scores came in from other high school games, maybe stopping by Whataburger to grab a celebratory burger along the way. Times were so much simpler then and I have left North Texas, but my heart remains on the turf and grass of those fields. Thank you for this video, it really took me down memory lane. P.S. UT Arlington's football team was disbanded years before I was born, but I won a couple City Championships at Maverick Stadium during grade school. It is still dear to me. Can't believe an aussie made a video about my home that made me cry. Much Love

My only problem is that Dickie's Arena was topped out at 14,000 seating capacity; I had this wild hope that since Fort Worth is the LARGEST CITY IN AMERICA (12th) without a Major League Sports Team, I was hoping that Fort Worth could build a venue with 17,000-18,000 range, so we might be able to land an NBA Team--Imagine an NBA Team coming to Texas, playing Houston, San Antonio, the Mavericks, and a close rival in Fort Worth Guess it won't happen in my lifetime, but our identity (unfortunately) is tied to Dallas.

The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center in Dallas also boasts a domed arena, originally called Dallas Memorial Auditorium, with 9,000 seats. It once shared the Dallas Chaparrals of the ABA (now the San Antonio Spurs) with Moody Coliseum. There's also a 7,000 seat coliseum at Fair Park, next to the Cotton Bowl, formerly used for minor league hockey but built more for rodeos. Will Rogers Coliseum also had minor league hockey, with a rivalry in the '70s between the Fort Worth Wings and the Dallas Blackhawks.

Considering the original Ballpark at Arlington wasn't even 25 years old when they started the replacement Globe Life Field, it almost seems like a waste of money. I don't even know if The Ballpark had been fully paid off by that time. I get the issue of having a roof in case of storms and cover from the hot Texas sun, but that was as much a problem when The Ballpark was conceived in the early 90s. I suspect that a roofed stadium would have cost too much to win support at that time, so they went with the no-roof version just to get some kind of replacement for the old Arlington Stadium. It's too bad, because The Ballpark had a unique, maybe even quirky design that left no doubt where you were if you were the visiting team.

The stadiums, especially the newer ones are in school districts/cities where their populations have risen dramatically over the past few decades, newer schools in those districts, often being built in the last 10-15 years. The stadiums are definitely meant to be used for multiple schools and uses.

This was a good video. The only other impressive high school stadiums that I’ve been too that I can remember pretty well and didn’t see on this list was Highlander Stadium in the park cities, Max Goldsmith Stadium in Lewisville and Ron Poe stadium in McKinney. Other than those good job!

Unfortunately, Mavericks Stadium is no longer used for American football as UTA hasn't fielded (pun intended) since 1985. It IS used for soccer and high school football. The Carrolton stadium is for high school, not college. Hence Carrolton ISD (independent school district). I worked at Globe Life Field and its predecessor Globe Life Park (Now Choctaw). When we had day games in the summer, people would come to games at the former and spend a LOT of time on the concourse or trying to sneak into shaded seats. They also wanted to have more non baseball events. That is how the Rangers got the city to have a referendum to approve it-it was being designed with acoustics in mind. I just saw Elton John there and the sound was REALLY good! So that and NOT dying of the heat at baseball games is why it was built. Now I DO agree that it IS kinda ugly on the outside. Tried to meld retro (GLP) with modern and it just didn't work.

Houston stadiums could give Dallas a run. Merrell center, Berry Center, Delmar Fieldhouse (Baby Toyota center), Legacy Stadium, Galena Park ISD stadium, Constellation Field so many more I can't name right now

McKinney ISD Stadium also hosts All-Region High School Marching Band Comps. Know from playing in one. Sad I didn't see my trash high school stadium, The Colony.

Do a video on just the High School stadiums in Texas. Any amenities or architecture can eventually be seen if you look long enough. We have mild falls and winters all over the state, and most people live between 1 and 6 hours from a professional team. HS football is often a favorite sport in the state, and is much more community oriented.

Things could have been much different for Irving ISD. From what I recall, back in the 90s (I can't remember the exact year), there were two bond propositions regarding the schools, one of which was to build a new stadium to replace Joy and Ralph Ellis Stadium, which was then known as Irving Schools Stadium. That specific bond proposition was voted down. At least they eventually made some renovations that made it look acceptable. I don't see it being replaced anytime soon.

If you didn’t believe High school football takes precedent in Texas, this video is your proof.

A typical suburban stadium in Australia is a ground with cars parked around the edge.

I think the first stadium is a soccer stadium cause UTA doesn’t have a football team
