Ken Pridgeon Stadium is an outdoor American football stadium located in Houston, Texas. The stadium was built in 1977 and, along with the Richard E. Berry Educational Support Center, serves as the home field for all Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District varsity football games.[1]

In May 2014, as part of a US $1.2 billion bond referendum, the stadium received $40 million for upgrades and renovations that are scheduled to be completed in two parts. Early renovations included parking lot improvements of LED lighting, new concrete in parking and driveways in the complex, as well as underground drainage. The later renovations, expected to be completed between December 2016 and January 2017, include a new natatorium expected to seat 950 people, two-story press box, new ticket booths, central ticket booth on the home side, central ticket booth on the visitor side, restrooms, concessions, and an elevator that will go up to the press box.[2]
