Some of the earlier renovations included parking lot upgrades, concrete replacements, the addition of LED lighting, as well as improvements to the stadium's sewage system. The renovations were completed between December 2016 and January 2017, which included a new natatorium expected to seat 950 people, a new two-story press box, new ticket booths, restrooms, concessions stand, and an elevator that goes up to the press box. Pridgeon Stadium is the Oldest American football stadium in the Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District aside from Cy-Fair FCU Stadium
