ADA compliant upgrades include bleachers and sidewalks.

History

The stadium on Charles Street was the 5th location used for Humble High School football games in the early 1900s.

  • The land for the stadium was purchased from the Bender Estate for $2,500 in October 1938.

  • The district hired Hedrick and Lindsley, Inc., Architects and Engineers of Houston to design the stadium. 

  • W. C. Lindley Lumver Co won the bid to supply materials for the construction of the stadium, while E> W. Robbins won the bid to furnish sand and gravel.

The stadium was completed in 1942, complete with homestands with a press box, visitor stands, football field, track, a field house, and restrooms.

Prior to the construction of Turner Stadium, the Charles Street Stadium was called "Humble Stadium."
