Jones Stadium, a venue so historic it appears like it belongs to ancient Rome, hosted the first Friday night games in Texas in 1928 and became the first stadium in the state to have permanent outdoor lighting for sporting events.

The stadium has been named one of the top high school stadiums in the country by USA Today, ESPN, and CBS Sports.
