TDECU Stadium, Football stadium at University of Houston, US
TDECU Stadium is a football stadium at the University of Houston in Houston, USA, designed with a main seating bowl that sits deep into the ground. This construction ensures that every visitor has a clear view of the field without obstruction, making it easier to follow the game from any seat.
The stadium opened in 2014 to replace an older facility that had become too small for the growing university. The construction cost around 128 million dollars and also funded a new music center on the eastern edge of the grounds.
The name of the stadium comes from a local credit union that has long served the Houston community. Visitors often notice how game days bring students and alumni together, creating a shared sense of pride in the university team.
The stadium connects directly to the METRORail line and holds around 40,000 people, which becomes important during university games in the fall. It is a good idea to arrive early, as the surrounding area fills up quickly on game days.
Starting in 2025, the stadium will carry a new name after the original credit union merged with another. The new name refers to the nickname of Houston, which is also known as Space City.
