    ALL-TIME HIGHEST ATTENDANCE

    Texas High School Football Playoff Games

    Attendance is not an official statistic kept at Texas

    high school football playoff games, so state records are incomplete.

    Attendance for these 11 games are among the highest on record in state history:

    Attendance Game Site Year

    49,953 Plano vs. Port Neches-Groves            Texas Stadium 1977*

    46,339 Southlake Carroll vs. Euless Trinity      Texas Stadium 2006

    45,790 Highland Park vs. Waco                      Cotton Bowl 1945*

    45,000 Houston Washington vs. Galveston      Rice Stadium 1968

    45,000 Dallas Adams vs. Richardson              Cotton Bowl 1967

    39,102 Garland vs. Katy                              Astrodome 1999*

    39,102 Stephenville vs. Port Neches-Groves    Astrodome 1999*

    38,570 Port Neches-Groves vs. Houston Kashmere Astrodome 1977

    38,374 Plano vs. Highland Park                       Texas Stadium 1980

    38,000 Odessa vs. San Antonio Jefferson        Memorial Stadium (Austin) 1946

    36,000 Fort Bend Willowridge vs. Houston Yates Rice Stadium 1988

    * state championship game

    Looks like the stadium's that have had the largest attendances are....

    Texas Stadium - all time largest (three games in the top 11)

    Astrodome - (three games in the top 11)

    Rice Stadium - (two games in the top 11)

    Cotton Bowl - (two games in the top 11)

    Memorial Stadium (Austin) (one game in the top 11)

    Katy and PN-G must have played a double header in 1999 for the 39,102 attendance game.

    Schools that appear most in the top ten....

    Port Neches Groves (three)

    Plano (two)

    Highland Park (two)  where is Highland Park (isn't it in Dallas)???? please reply...

    Wow.....

    Just dawned on me...

    Thirty years ago...

    PN-G was finishing up their last season as district champs going undefeated in district and then advancing to the state championship game in Dallas which set the all time attendance record.  The Kashmere game I believe was a quarter final game that at that time was the largest crowd in the Astrodome.

    Talk about some vivid memories...

    I was close with my 40,000 estimate on the PNG-Stephenville game.  :)
