Robertson Stadium

Robertson Stadium is a multipurpose facility at the University of Houston with concrete stands arranged in tiered sections that provide clear views of the field. The structure accommodates around 32,000 spectators and features modern amenities throughout the venue.

The facility opened in 1942 as Houston Public School Stadium through a partnership between the Houston Independent School District and the Works Progress Administration. Over time it became a venue for college sports, professional leagues, and major events that shaped Houston's entertainment landscape.

The stadium became a gathering place where Houston's sports fans came together for games and events that mattered to the community. Its role as a venue for different teams and celebrations made it part of the city's social fabric.

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.

An AFL Championship game between the Houston Oilers and Dallas Texans in 1962 drew a crowd that nearly pushed past the facility's capacity at the time. This event remains one of the most memorable occasions in the venue's history.
