High school football attendance is sometimes hard to get a handle on as the turnstile count is often an estimate or involves guesswork, but the thrilling Pearland / Katy game (Pearland won 38-35) played at Rice Stadium this afternoon had an announced crowd of 41,368, and that's good enough to move it in to 6th place on the all-time list. Rice Stadium also hosted the 4th and 12th highest attended games.
