The teams with the most appearances at Texas Stadium

[Plano Wildcat Fan]

Since everyone is predicting Plano's demise and with that the possiblity it will be the Wildcats last in a long successful history of Playing in Texas Stadium for over 35 years.

I was thinking Plano has played more games at TS than any other team in any classification except the Cowboys & maybe SMU.

Saturday's appearacne will be Plano's 48th time to play in that sacred place.. IMO will finish with a 50 appearance but that is for other threads to be discussed.

In recognition of their record appearance I give you Plano's Greatest Victories & Toughest defeats

Greatest
1. Plano vs HP 77 region 2 final 29-28 Miracle comeback back in the day when passing was a 4 letter word.

2. Plano vs PNG 77 4A state title game 13-10 Largest attended game of all time of 49,905. Please no TT's or SLC fans saying theirs were bigger, it wasn't) You can't count tickets for the 2nd game that came after)

3. Plano 28-LD Bell 21 State semifinals sending Plano back to the state titel game after a 9 year absence.

4. Plano vs Temple 78 area round 15-14. Cardiac Cat's pull the upset against #1 Temple in a shocker that propelled Plano to the title game that year.

5. Plano vs Trinity 93 semifinals- 10-0 (I believe). An Underdog Plano team that finished 3rd in district had mulitple goalline stands to keep Trinity out of the endzone all game.. Defensive battle galore. Prelude for things to come.

Worst games

Plano vs Tyler Lee 91 area round. Kimbroughs final game as HC Plano blows a 14-3 lead in the 2nd half after a apparent 50 yard TD run by RB Curtis Jackson was called back for holding. I believe it was 23-20 loss.

Plano vs HP 1980 region 2 final. 23-21. HP pulls their comeback after trailing 21-3 mid-way through the 3rd. Coach Kimbrough gets an unsportsmanlike 15 yard penalty. You knew the fix was in.

Plano vs Trinity 07. We know why.

Plano vs SLC 05 Tough loss especially being up 11 midway through the 3rd.

[drgnbkr]

All Plano all the time!:p And to call TS a "sacred place" is in Sarah Palin's words, putting lipstick on a pig...But we are fortunate to have a large stadium, that is centrally located, to play the postseason games in.

You are no doubt correct that Plano has the most appearances of any high school at Texas Stadium in the playoffs. But spin it all you want, we are all well aware that the Trinity- Carroll game outdrew the Plano -PNG game by a few thousand at TS. If it makes you feel better to believe your version, then by all means feel free to do so.

This.

So many people showed up late because of HORRIBLE traffic, as well as poor planning by TS officials.

This is evident by the ET band showing up late...

The bands PLAN, factoring in traffic and time to get dressed etc, to be in stands roughly an hour before game time. Obviously TRAFFIC was THAT bad. They showed up when, late 1st q?

Even the Belles showed up late for Carroll too.

PWF= Fail.

[AE 8008]

is jerry gonna allow high school teams to play in the new stadium?

[DrEdward]

is jerry gonna allow high school teams to play in the new stadium?

Yes. Plano West and Carroll will kick off the season next year in the new version of Jerry World.

[AE 8008]

awesome

[SLC]

Yes. Plano West and Carroll will kick off the season next year in the new version of Jerry World.

Its gonna be great.. Any chance we end up the last game at Texas stadium? (assuming we keep winning of course)

[DrEdward]

awesome

Caveat:
None of us yet know what the ticket pricing, concessions, and parking fees will be like. :rolleyes:

[dragons08]

Nope. Being as State is what Dec 22 roughly, and Cowboys have a late december game do they not?

Should be more specific. It's hard trying to keep up with you all and learn physics.

But, are <4a games at pre-designated sites as well?

[MemorialMustangs]

the title is misleading it says the teams with the most appearances... Shoulda realized by the maker that the only teams would be Plano ;)

[SLC]

Yes.

[dragons08]

Yes.

Well, sir, if we do happen to win out, and win a coin toss for a home game, the week before state could be at TS. And if it is a saturday night, it most likely can be.

I'm good with that..

Be the team that closes out Texas stadium and opens up the new one = Sweet.:)

[hollywood]

yes. Plano west and carroll will kick off the season next year in the new version of jerry world.


yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Plano - PNG was a single game day, not 4 games. Can't compare
My family will affect the attendance of the Wylie and Allen game just by watching some of both.

[mojotrain]

I think a better topic would be, What Texas High School football team from over 325 miles has made the most trips to Texas Stadium?

I nominate Odessa Permian @ 18 visits. They only come via playoffs.:)

[NHB06]

So the great debate is finally over. TS is Plano's second home- affectionately referred to as Clark South. :D

It will be probably be like a top restaurant.

If you have to ask for the prices then you can't afford it.

[Bass]

Is no one counting the 1999 4A Stephenville/Port-Neches Grove championship? Over 55,000 in the Astrodome... guess what, that was for one game.

And for anyone to think people showed up to Texas Stadium that day not intending to see the Trinity/Carroll game, but just getting to their game early or being stuck after their game, is ridiculous.

Where did you get your information? Plano-PNG in 1977 is documented as the highest attended football game in Texas history at 49,905.

[HSFootball#1]

Think that would be the Cowboys!:D

[SLC]

This Saturday will mark Southlake Carroll's 30th time playing at Texas stadium. And considering that the team has only been around for 40 years, I would say thats fairly impressive.

[LoboFan07]

Did you stay for the next game after SLC/Trinity that day?

There was MAYBE 2,000 fans on either side after it.

that makes them older than the stadium so only 40 years doesn't mean much :p

The Tyler Lee game in 91 was a hugh win for the Red Raiders. Our first trip to TS was in 90 and played Plano. I think we were so much in awe of the stadium and Plano band, crowd, team and the whole TS playoff experience we were beat before the coin flip. The come back win the next year was really sweet and I will never forget it.

[Plano Wildcat Fan]

Texas Stadium has only been arond 37. What's your point? Southlake does have the most appearances their in the 2000's. Had they not insisted playing at Pennington field so much in the 80's & 90's they could of Challenged Plano's record.

How much is a basic cup of coffee these days?

[TheDarkSide15]

I agree. Now if Permian beats the Elks on friday night would you co owners of TS please clean the restrooms before the next friday night. Thanks in advance.

I dont complain about the restrooms... mainly cause I go before I leave... try not to drink anything at the game and just sit...

public restrooms are gross...

Yes very impressive. Our numbers @18 are paltry compared to your numbers. We are much older at 48. I only posted our numbers because we have never played a game there except playoff games and at 325 miles it's not a convenience thing for us.

[drgnbkr]

Carroll has never played there except in the playoffs..and we got started late because Coach Ledbetter didn't like it..he felt the stadium became the focus, not the game..he preferred Pennington.

[mojotrain]

and my guess is your not married and if you are she is younger than 16 and/or had had no kids. But kudos on your bladder control thing.:p

I was at the Plano/Tyler Lee game in 1990 as a senior at PSHS. Our cheerleaders had a huge run through sign at the start of the game that said, "Welcome to the playoffs Tyler". I have a picture of it in my senior yearbook. I recently came across that pic again while looking through my yearbook and had to laugh knowing now what Lee would accomplish.

[Bass]

Apparently this site's numbers are a little off on the Stephenville/PNG game.

[mojotrain]

As soon as you guys declare a winner, would it be possible to change the topic to, what big class school other than those in Lubbock/Amarillo has played more games in Jones Stadium? Well change that request, I've recieved a request to ask what teams athletic events bus has the most miles on it.

[TheDarkSide15]

The overwhelming majority were at Texas Stadium for the Carroll-Trinity game, as you well know. But if this continues to be important to some of the Plano fans and if you believe the situations are not comparable, then the largest crowd ever to witness a Texas Stadium high school playoff game on a single game card belongs to Plano-PNG. The largest crowd ever to witness a high school playoff game at Texas Stadium on a multi-game program belongs to Carroll-Trinity.

This.

[TulsaHale74]

Some people ride taller in the saddle because they could play in the last HS game played at TS, and the first HS game played at JerryWorld, to go along with a not-first place trophy for most appearances at TS.

Still no answer on how much a cup of coffee costs (besides the video:)). :(

Yea I remember that game well myself, I remember feeling like the lambs being led to slaughter. Of course the next year (91) was one of my fondest memories, that and that little deal in San Antonio in 2004.:D

I looked it up for a friend a few years back and found a nifty thing on Wikipedia... Says that Texas does not have a close age exception, but that within 3 years can be used as an affirmitive defense (similar to self defense in murder)... Legal age of consent is 17 though...

[SC606]

A good trivia question: who won the most games at Texas Stadium in 2004? Dragons with 5 -- Dallas Cowboys second with 4. :)

or pennington east or carrols stomping grounds for the last 6 years. Who has won the most since 2000. Im more than sure that wasnt plano and would guess SLC. who cares how many times you played there how many times have you won there ?

[Planofan2007]

Nope. Being as State is what Dec 22 roughly, and Cowboys have a late december game do they not?

Last home game is Dec 22 gaints the Ravens

Plano has not only played their the most Plano was won the most games their as well I believe it stands at 35 wins. Even SLC & Trinity can't even sniff that.
