Eagle Stadium - Allen, Texas

Eagle Stadium is a football stadium in Allen, Texas. It is owned and operated by the Allen Independent School District and is home to the Allen High School Eagles.

Located at East Exchange Parkway and Rivercrest Boulevard

The stadium opened on August 31, 2012, with a non-district matchup between Allen and Southlake Carroll, who at the time was the defending 5A state champion and the No. 1 ranked team in the state. In an upset, Allen prevailed, 24–0, en route to its own state title later that year. The Eagles have enjoyed remarkable success since opening the stadium winning 54 consecutive games in the stadium from 2012–2021. Atascocita became the first team to beat the Eagles at the venue on September 3, 2021. Allen has won four state championships (2012, 2013, 2014, and 2017) since Eagle Stadium opened, and five overall (2008).

The 5th Largest High School Stadium in Texas

Eagle Stadium is notable (and controversial) for its size (it has a capacity of 18,000 spectators, the fifth largest high school stadium in Texas, and the largest that serves as the home field for only one high school) and its cost of completion (just under US$60 million). The 18,000 seats include 9,000 home-side seats (including 1,000 reserved for the Allen Escadrille), 4,000 end-zone seats for students and general admission (located in the north end zone), and 5,000 visitor-side seats.

Beneath the grandstand has spaces for wrestling, a golf simulator practice area, and a weight room.

The final Texas vs The Nation college football all-star bowl game was held at Eagle Stadium in February 2013.

The field at the stadium is named Steve Williams Field at Eagle Stadium after former athletic director, Steve Williams. Williams retired at the end of the 2020–2021 school year, after 46 years with the Allen ISD, 21 of those years as the district's athletic director. His career achievements at Allen resulted in his induction into the Texas High School Athletic Director Association’s 2020 Hall of Honor.
