Record Attendance For Texas HS Football Game?

[Bullaholic]

What is the record attendance for a Texas HS football game? I think it has been posted here before, but I was wondering the chances of it being broken if the right matchups end up in the new Cowboy Stadium. Could there ever be a 100K HS football game?

Didn't Burnet use to bring 60,000 to their games :D

Didn't the SLC-ET game in 05 or 06 break the record of PA-M and Plano from the 70's? I know it got very close

Either way the record for texas is right at 50,000

There have been larger crowds i believe in Ohio for the McKinley-Massilion games

I think the official record is Plano-PNG in the late 1970's just short of 50k...official attendance for SLC-Trinity was like 46k but by the end of the game it was well over 50k

[bobcat4life]

the most Ive seen in person was around 35,000-40,000

and the largest total was 47,000 or so at the SLC-Trinity game a few years ago

No. They had to stretch for the 100K at the Cowboys opener.

I could see 60,000 for another mega matchup. I would have gone to SLC v. ET but I knew it would be near sold out. Heck if that same type of match up happened this season, the game + people still wanting to see Cowboys Stadium for the first time could make it happen.

Here's two links from the SLC-Trinity game, notice the crowd..no way thats under 50k

Here's some shots I found of SLC-Allen this year..I think there was like 36k for this one

That SL Carroll - Euless Trinity game had to have had more than 50,000. Texas Stadium held better than 65,000 and there didn't look like any empty seats......certainly not 15,000 empty seats.

Also, that looked like a lot more than 36,000 at that SLC - Allen game, too. That stadium holds in excess of 100,000 and it looked like it was more than half full.

You think maybe they only counted paid attendance?

I agree--I can see a 100k hs game in the not too far distant future, though---the Metroplex is at 6.5M and growing faster than any other metro area in the US. Plus, as you stated, Cowboy's Stadium has become one of the "sports wonders of the world" and is on everyone's "must see" list when in the Metroplex.

The Prep Bowl, an annual match-up between the champions of the Catholic and public high-school leagues, drew 120,000 fans to Soldier Field in 1937, the largest crowd ever to witness a football game in the United States

Go to 1:26 in that video and pause it. It's no where near half full. 36,000 sounds right

[Maroon87]

The most I ever saw in person was 30,000 at Rice Stadium for Galena Park North Shore vs. The Woodlands, 5A-DI final in 2003.

You could be right, I stopped it at 1:26 and it looks to me like the 1st tier is completely full, the 2nd tier is very close to being full, and there's even a few on the 3rd tier. That looks to be around half full to me. If that's the case, I would guess in the neighborhood of 43K to 45K, but what do I know?:confused: :D
