Robertson Stadium

Robertson Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium at University of Houston, United States

Robertson Stadium was a multi-tiered stadium on the University of Houston campus, with dark grey concrete seating rows, red-painted aisles and red seats in the lower sections. A long red fascia ran above the stands, and a beige press box with a flat roof and an open upper deck carried the words "ROBERTSON STADIUM" on its front. Three tall light poles with rectangular lamp arrays rose above it, and the field was marked with red and white lines. Its capacity was 32,000.

Built by the Fretz Construction Company as a joint project of the Houston Independent School District and the Works Progress Administration, it opened in 1942 as Public School Stadium with 14,500 seats. Renamed Jeppesen Stadium in 1958, it was bought by the University of Houston for $6.8 million after Corbin J. Robertson funded a 1970 renovation, and took his name in 1980. A 1999 renovation lowered the field nine feet and removed the running track.

The stadium's name honors Corbin J. Robertson, a former University of Houston regent and athletics committee chairman who funded its 1970 renovation; it took his name in 1980. The playing field was named for Houston attorney John O'Quinn, a donor to the 1999 renovation. The venue hosted the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo before that event moved on.

The stadium is located on the University of Houston campus and features modern facilities including luxury suites and concession stands. Improved lighting and well-organized seating make navigation straightforward and viewing comfortable for all guests.

The December 23, 1962 AFL title game between the Houston Oilers and Dallas Texans was pro football's first double-overtime game, and the Oilers lost 20–17. It was the only overtime game in the AFL's ten-year history, played before 37,981 people, the largest crowd the stadium ever held.
