The Grande Communications Stadium is a 15,000-seat (18,000 capacity) stadium located in Midland, Texas. The stadium plays host to the American football and soccer teams for both Robert E. Lee High School and Midland High School.
The stadium is part of the Scharbauer Sports Complex, together with the 5,000-seat CitiBank Ballpark.
The reason behind the stadium's rather large size for a high school venue is the incredible passion for high school football and soccer in Texas. Ratliff Stadium in neighboring Odessa is another large high school stadium, seating nearly 20,000.
