With five 6A high schools to serve, Veterans Memorial Stadium is unable to fully handle the load, leading to numerous Thursday football games.

Events at Veterans Memorial, in turn, increase traffic and congestion at neighboring CCISD facilities and residential area.

The 2013 Bond also calls for the rebuilding of multiple campuses in the district and major construction at others, along with the introduction of improved technological learning.

Challenger Columbia Stadium was originally scheduled for completion in mid-2015, in time for the 2015 high school football season.

The dedication ceremony included the athletes, bands, and cheerleaders from the five high schools and tributes to the crew members lost in the Challenger and Columbia disasters.
