21 Stadiums Across America You Didn't Know Were This Young

3. TDECU Stadium (2014) – University of Houston

TDECU Stadium signaled a turning point for the University of Houston’s football program. Replacing the outdated Robertson Stadium, the new facility opened in 2014 and instantly elevated the Cougars’ status on the national stage. With 40,000 seats and the potential to expand to 60,000, the stadium was designed with both immediate needs and future ambitions in mind. It’s modern, visually striking, and unmistakably Houston—down to the bold red accents that wrap the bowl and the skyline views from the upper levels. Its open-air design encourages crowd energy to echo across the field, creating an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams. TDECU features massive video boards, expansive fan concourses, and premium suites that rival many pro stadiums. It’s also built to host concerts, soccer matches, and high school championships, making it a true community asset. Sleek, spirited, and ready for primetime, TDECU Stadium reflects the bold personality and big-time goals of Houston athletics.
