Today marks the first-ever game at the brand new Michael Glaspie Field Athletic Complex at Martin High School on the west side of Arlington.
The debut matchup will feature Seguin Cougars vs. The Colony Cougars. Glaspie Field will now serve as the home field for both Seguin and Martin High School, boasting 10,000 seats (5,500 home side / 4,500 visitor side ), a 40-foot visual screen, locker rooms, concessions, restrooms, and one of the largest press boxes in the city for a high school—a major upgrade from Martin’s old 1,500-seat practice field.
On Friday, Martin takes the field for their Homecoming game against Grand Prairie High.
The stadium honors Rev. Michael Glaspie of Mount Olive Baptist Church, who has served Arlington for over 40 years as a community leader, AISD Board Trustee, City Councilman, and mayoral candidate. Rev. Glaspie was the first African American elected to AISD Board of Trustees in 1991 and has advocated for a stadium since then. “Over 300 years we [my family] have taught kids and educated kids… I just happen to be the one they’re honoring, but it’s really for my family,” he said at the groundbreaking in 2023. We enjoyed getting to know more about Rev. Glaspie during our 2021 interview with him during his mayoral campaign.
Funded by the 2019 Bond, Glaspie Field is AISD’s third competition field, joining Cravens at Lamar High School and Wilemon at Sam Houston High School. The $34 million project faced some delays but now stands as a milestone for Arlington athletics.
