Texas Memorial Stadium has been the home of University of Texas football and track Longhorns since 1924. The Stadium was dedicated to Texans who had served in World War I after the Longhorns beat the Aggies in the first game of that rivalry to be played there.

Texas Memorial Stadium was rededicated on September 18, 1948 (at halftime of the Texas-Louisiana State football game), to honor Texans who had died in World War II.

At a football game in the fall of 1977 the building was dedicated for the third time, to include American veterans of all wars.

Texas Memorial Stadium is the largest athletic facility in the state and the thirteenth-largest on-campus facility in the country.
