History

The stadium was built in 1971 between C.E. King Middle school and C.E. King high school. In 1999, voters in Sheldon ISD passed a $97 million bond which included plans for new restrooms, ticket booths, and concession stands. [1] In 2004 the stadium renovations were completed, resulting in improved access for handicapped persons. The bleachers kept the original I-beam design, but the metallic stands were replaced with concrete ones which allowed for less restrictive seating space.
In 2010, the stadium was once again updated to include professional grade track and field materials. The track was widened to 8 tracks and the surface was replaced with a 13mm thick synthetic surface composed of the Conipur SW system from BASF. In addition, the field grass was replaced with Desso D-Vision artificial turf. The home side bleachers also upgraded to include 22 inch wide theatre seats. The theatre seats are reserved for football season ticket buyers, those who make a one-time lifetime payment, and those who pay an extra fee at admission. The scoreboard was also upgraded to include a video board with action replay ability. [2]

As part of the 2016 Bond, [3] Sheldon ISD Panther Stadium was built in 2019, therefore becoming the new home stadium for C.E. King High's football and soccer teams. [4]
