Ken Pridgeon Stadium, High school sports stadium in Houston, United States
Ken Pridgeon Stadium is a high school sports stadium in Houston, Texas, serving several schools in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District. It features an artificial turf field and stands that can hold a large crowd, making it one of the main outdoor venues for district athletics.
The stadium opened in 1977 and was renamed in 1994 to honor Oran Kenneth Pridgeon, who had served as Athletic Director for the school district. It went through major renovations in the 2010s, which brought new playing surfaces and updated spectator facilities.
On game days, the stadium fills with students, families, and neighbors from across the Cypress-Fairbanks school district, all gathered to support their teams. The shared energy on the bleachers gives the place a strong sense of community belonging.
The stadium sits along Bobcat Road in Houston and is most easily reached by car, with parking available near the grounds. On busy event days, arriving early is a good idea, as parking areas can fill up well before kickoff.
The wider complex includes an aquatic center with seating for around 950 people, built specifically for competitive swimming events. Having a dedicated swim venue with spectator seating attached to a school district stadium is quite uncommon for this type of facility.
