Road Dogs: How La Porte won back-to-back district championships without a home stadium

Technically, the La Porte Bulldogs are 9-0 as the home team in the last two seasons. They just haven’t played a single game in their home stadium.

La Porte ISD voters approved a $235 million bond package that included a brand new, $56 million football stadium in May 2023. That kicked off a two-year process of demolishing the old Bulldog Stadium and then rebuilding the improved version on the same site. It also kicked off La Porte’s football team for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The Bulldogs played all home games at Barbers Hill High School in 2023 and then Deer Park’s Abshier Stadium, their arch-rival, in 2024.
