Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium
Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, formerly War Memorial Stadium, Memorial Stadium, and Texas Memorial Stadium, is the ninth-largest stadium in the United States, with a capacity of 95,594.
Since 1924, it has been the home of the Texas Longhorns football team. It is ranked number eight on the list of the largest football stadiums in the United States.
The official stadium's seating capacity was 100,119 before construction to build permanent south end zone seating and luxury suites, making it the largest in the Big 12 Conference, the seventh-largest stadium in the United States, and the ninth-largest stadium in the world, surpassing Bryant-Denny Stadium.
On September 15, 2018, when Texas hosted The University of Southern California, the DKR–Texas Memorial Stadium attendance record of 103,507 was set.
In 1996, the University of Texas officially named the stadium after legendary football coach Darrell K Royal, who enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps in 1943, played at the University of Oklahoma under legendary Coach Bud Wilkinson, and led Texas to three national championships and eleven Southwest Conference titles.
