Plans have been unveiled for the $48 million Katy ISD football stadium that was approved by voters last year as part of a major bond package, after voters rejected a similar but grander plan for a second stadium the previous year.

This stadium, architects argued, will be flexible and secure and has been designed with an eye to traffic flow and sound management as it will sit directly across from the existing Rhodes Stadium.

Collected here are all the illustrations from the team of HKS, Inc. and VLK Architects, presented to the Katy ISD school board in July. The project is expected to break ground in the fall, after being delayed in part due to heavy rains in May, according to the district.
