Buford High Opens $62M Dexter Wood Field Stadium

Buford High School in Georgia has officially opened its $62 million Dexter Wood Field at Phillip Beard Stadium, a state-of-the-art facility featuring 10,000 seats, 1,543 premium seats, 15 suites with catering, and a massive 44-by-82-foot scoreboard. The ribbon-cutting ceremony drew a large turnout from students, families, and the community, showcasing strong local support. Buford, ranked No. 10 nationally, will debut the stadium with a nationally televised game against No. 15 Milton on August 14, 2025. The new stadium is among the largest and most advanced high school football venues in the Southeast, with amenities highlighting the region's investment in high school sports. This local development comes as national attention remains focused on top college football stadiums like LSU's Tiger Stadium, which was recently ranked No. 1 for its size and atmosphere. The new stadium underscores Buford's ongoing football legacy and the growing prominence of high school football infrastructure in Georgia.
