Bowers Stadium, Football stadium in Huntsville, United States
Bowers Stadium is a college football stadium in Huntsville, Texas, that serves as the home field of Sam Houston State University. The stands run along both sides of the field and include covered sections, press areas, and executive suites for collegiate-level events.
The stadium opened in 1986, replacing an older playing field as the main sports facility of the university. Over the following decades, additions were made to expand seating and improve the facilities for both players and spectators.
The stadium is a gathering point for students, alumni, and locals who follow Sam Houston State University football. On game days, the crowd fills the stands early and the team colors are visible all around the campus.
The stadium sits on the Sam Houston State University campus and is easy to reach on foot from the center of Huntsville. On game days, arriving early is a good idea since nearby parking fills up quickly and the gates open well before kickoff.
The largest crowd ever recorded at the stadium came to a 1994 game against Alcorn State, when around 16,000 fans attended. That number went well beyond the normal seating capacity of the venue.
