House Park, Sports stadium in Austin, Texas.
House Park is a sports stadium in Austin featuring concrete bleachers, a natural grass field, and floodlights that frame the playing area for both football and soccer events. The facility holds around 6,500 spectators with designated sections for home and visiting teams plus accessible entrances on multiple sides.
Construction of the stadium began in 1930 as part of Austin's educational development initiative, with its official opening in September 1939. This timing reflected the city's growing commitment to school sports facilities during the pre-war era.
The venue remains central to Austin's high school football tradition, drawing families and neighbors together for game nights that mark the local calendar. These gatherings shape how residents connect with their community through shared sporting moments.
The stadium offers accessible entrances on multiple sides, making it easy to find your way in from different directions. Arriving early gives you time to find good seating and avoid the rush just before games start.
The stadium served as Austin's first venue for professional soccer matches, hosting the Austin Aztex FC team before the city had other professional sports facilities. This pioneering role in bringing pro soccer to the city is often overlooked by visitors.
