Multipurpose district stadium serving three high schools with 8,000 seats

Planet Ford Stadium

The Planet Ford Stadium is nestled in the woods south of the Spring Creek Greenway. This fixture would need to serve the three traditional high schools in the Spring Independent School District (ISD) while also providing multipurpose space for community use. 

We served as the architect of record to deliver Spring ISD’s vision for the stadium. The community room, concessions, restrooms, two-story press box, and band plaza wrap the field to create a sense of enclosure. Seating was designed to stretch from end zone to end zone to bring spectators closer to the synthetic field embedded into the landscape six feet below natural grade. A second-level hospitality suite in the press box has impressive views of the game, while fritted glazing of the second-floor press box is illuminated in the color of the home team. For player experience, we equipped the collegiate-style locker rooms with wood lockers, televisions, and a sound system while a LED-colored vestibule shines team colors as they enter the field.

The much-needed community room has incredible views of the field and serves as a backdrop to a veterans’ memorial. This facility will be used almost every day of the year for both educational and private functions.
