Mustang Stadium could get a facelift if the school board approves a near $400,000 replacement of aging seating at the stadium.

The project, addressed at a March 23 Marble Falls Independent School District Board of Trustee meeting, would remove the 1,377 reserved seating chairs at Mustang Stadium and replace them with brand-new multicolor seats.

According to MFISD Director of Maintenance Eric Humiston, the existing reserved seating is over 19 years old and has been in dire need of replacement, made worse by being heavily damaged in a severe hail storm in 2024. 

Humiston told the board that the project would cost approximately $399,450, which includes all materials and labor. If approved, the replacement would likely occur after the 2026-27 football season, however no exact timeline was given.

The Board of Trustees decided to hold off on any action and push the item to a further meeting, where they could view and present physical examples of the seats to decide on colors. Humiston clarified that the color selection would not change the total cost of the project.

One of the current designs includes purple seats spelling “MFH,” with gold seats as a trim around those letters, similar to the current reserved seating design. A mockup of the design can be found on the second page of the item brief here.
