I went to Austin HS and use to walk to Jeppesen until they built Barnet Stadium out by Gulfgate
mine is on a bookcase shelf in my office.
I remember watching the construction cameras several times a week .
Everyday for me!
Remember feeling so much pride walking into Robertson when college gameday came against SMU.
It was a great day.
HISD hasn’t updated its stadiums since they were built lol
No kidding Butler Stadium is about to be 60 years old.
I remember the “Houston”… “Cougars” chant at Robertson. Because of the orientation it was students vs alumns. There was NO WAY I was letting some punk noobs out Coog me!
They tried this at TDECU… doesn’t work. Not the same orientation, not the same effect. Still like TDECU though.
Miss those palm trees.

I played soccer many times on the field. This was in the late 80’s to early 90’s. We still played in the Astrodome then. Great memories. I can still “feel” the memories.
Robertson like many other concrete stadiums now have “rebar” issues. Unfortunately they can’t be “saved”. Jack Murphy/Qualcomm/SDCU had the same issues. We build a stadium with limited funds but at least we did it. Today/soon we will be playing in the BIG12. Robertson is with us forever.
