W.W. Thorne Stadium

W.W. Thorne Stadium is an athletic venue in Houston featuring artificial turf, a video scoreboard, and seating integrated into earthen berms. The facility accommodates approximately 10,000 spectators and includes four entrance gates positioned at each corner.

This facility opened in 1979 following a structural failure at the previous Aldine Athletic Stadium, which accelerated the new construction plans. The opening marked an important turning point for local sports infrastructure.

This venue serves as home to several high school football teams from the Aldine Independent School District, playing a central role in local sports life. The regular matches and events here bring together families and neighbors from the surrounding communities.

Located near George Bush Intercontinental Airport, this venue provides 1,600 parking spaces accessible from four corner entrances. Visitors can easily orient themselves as gates are distributed around the entire perimeter.

The complex connects to the adjoining M.O. Campbell Center, which houses air-conditioned locker rooms, training facilities, and a conference room. These integrated spaces support daily use by teams and local organizations.
