Mustang Panther Stadium dates back to 1969. Over time, with age, wear and tear, the stadium received minor repairs and renovations.

In May 2016, voters approved the GCISD bond proposal, which allocated $6.78 million to cover stadium projects. These projects included concrete repairs and security upgrades.

To address accessibility concerns, a frequently out-of-service scoreboard, and more, the district used funds from the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) agreement.

Our school district is rich in tradition and excellence, so as part of the stadium renovation, we honored the past while building for the future. The architecture of the redesigned Mustang Panther Stadium evokes a feeling of nostalgia with its brick exterior and high archways.

Renovated Stadium Features

• Security upgrades including installing new and replacing old surveillance cameras (completed with 2016 Bond funds)

• Repairs to spalling concrete (completed with 2016 Bond funds)

• Drastically improved accessibility for all spectators by addressing the long walk to get to your seats

• Walk of Honor to recognize notable alumni and staff from GCISD. A committee will be formed to help select and develop the GCISD Walk of Honor

• Updated concession stands, restrooms, scoreboard, press box and spirit shops

• New press box, complete with a renovated scoreboard with improved sound system and technology

Funding

The work will be completed using funds the district received through a $26 million Tax Increment Financing (TIF) payout resulting from the 1996 TIF agreement with the City of Grapevine to bring Grapevine Mills Mall to the area.

Approved by the GCISD Board of Trustees and the Grapevine City Council, the funds will be used by the district on renovations to Mustang Panther Stadium, joint-use educational facilities and the joint fiber project with the City of Grapevine.
