Texas High School Football Stadiums / Fields Visited - 112

I covered Willis Wildkat football for many years for the Conroe Courier.

I know that there are a number of stadiums that I witnessed games in, but until I can feel reasonably certain that I saw a game there I won't add it to the list below.

Below where you see "1980s" or "1990s" listed, those are ones that I have no doubt about -- again either covering games for The Courier or doing broadcasts for the Texas Sports Radio Network with Lynn Michaels.

If I can identify the first game that I saw, aside from being a part of multiple games seen in one day at a stadium, I will post the score from that contest.
