Rhodes Stadium is named after Bill Rhodes, a long-time former athletic director for the Katy Independent School District.
The stadium was specifically designed to accommodate the high-volume demand of Texas high school football, which often draws capacity crowds in the Katy area.
It shares its immediate site with the Leonard E. Merrell Center, creating a dual-venue athletic destination.
The facility is capable of hosting UIL (University Interscholastic League) sanctioned playoff games due to its regulation dimensions and spectator infrastructure.
