"There isn't a doubt the best place we've ever played has been over at Port Neches. Hell, they fire you up with their fans. I think that's the highlight of any kid's career -- playing there." -- Newton Head Coach Curtis Barbay "It's a different place to play," said Crouch, who often accompanied Hooks and West Orange-Stark into memorable games at Indian Stadium prior to its lavish renovation. "I hope our kids can settle in with all the pageantry, and the music and the big stadium. You can get caught up in all of that. And if you do, you can get behind quick." -- LC-M Head Coach Randy Crouch "You stop and think of all the great coaches and the championships that have taken place on that field. It is a magical place and PN-G is what Texas football is all about." --Vidor Head Coach Jeff Matthews "We do go to PN-G once every two years. Everyone in Texas knows of the great tradition there and it is good for our fans to see the great support and atmosphere that is at PN-G. We want to be like them." -- Crosby ISD Superintendent Michael Joseph "PN-G has always been a special place in mind because I've always known about their great tradition." -- Livingston head coach Randy Rowe

HISTORY The state of Texas is filled with historic high school stadiums. But few have the atmosphere of Indian Stadium in Port Neches, Texas. Home of PN-G football since 1951, Indian Stadium has hosted many classic battles between the Indians and Southeast Texas opponents as well as numerous playoff games. Port Neches won it's first state championship title in 1953 at The Reservation. Built with an original capacity of 6,500, several expansions have occurred over past decades increasing capacity to 13,000 by the mid-70s.

A 20,000 square foot field house was completed in 1999. Featuring a 3,000 square foot weight room, meeting rooms, coaches offices, and training facilities, it is one of the top high school facilities of its kind in the state.

A $10.2 million renovation was approved as part of a school bond issue in 2007. The renovation, which began in February 2008, added a new drainage system and Field Turf playing surface, all new home seating, a new two-tier press box that can host dozens of media and VIPs, a state-of-the-art, high definition video display and scoreboard, and all new concessions and restrooms on both sides of the stadium.

A 2009 gift in honor of former player Steve Nolen added solid oak lockers to the locker room. The 'Steve Nolen Locker Room' provides a college level atmosphere for Indian players.

"The Reservation" has long been a stadium respected by opponents. With a home side capacity of over 7,500, regular season crowds often exceed 10,000. Games with the Nederland Bulldogs, long time MidCounty rival, bring capacity crowds making it one of the most prolific high school game atmospheres in the state.

As an area sports writer aptly stated, "PN-G football is an event, not a game. Generations of PN-G graduates faithfully pack Indian Stadium, affectionately known as the Reservation, to watch the new generation protect the school's ideals."

DETAILS

? Total seating capacity: 13,000 ? Playing Surface: FieldTurf ? All-time attendance record: 16,000 ? Two-tier, state-of-the-art pressbox ? 20,000 square foot field house ? Special features: 27'x17' high definition video board
