W.W. Thorne Stadium
Aldine ISD
Houston, TX
This project was a replacement of the current Aldine ISD W.W. Thorne Stadium. It included a 10,000 seat stadium with open air concourses, a 2 story press box, a community center building including a community room and Aldine ISD Athletic Department.
The demolition of Thorne Stadium, which opened in 1979, began in January 2023, making way for a new state-of-the art stadium that was designed to enhance both the student and community experience.
One of its unique features included customized LED lights on the West Side and East Side of the stadium that can be used to highlight the hosting team’s school colors.
Additional features include:
Locker room renovations at the adjoining M.O. Campbell Educational Center; (each locker room can be subdivided in half; a two-story press box; a new, larger scoreboard; parking lot improvements; new concession stands and restrooms; a multi-use community room; a designated plaza for band and drill team prime time performances; an open air concourse with
concession stands; an officials’ locker room and meeting space; and multi-use turf designed for both soccer and football.
