A new home
The San Marcos Rattlers will have a new home this season. After playing at Bobcat Stadium for years, San Marcos is excited [V ZOV^JHZL P[Z ÄYZ[ on-campus stadium in program history. The Rattlers are expected to christen their new digs on Oct. 3 against Alamo Heights. San Marcos superintendent Mark Eads didn’t just want to build a stadium. Eads wanted to construct something Rattler Nation could be WYV\K [V ZOV^ VɈ VU Friday nights. From a home grandstand that towers over the opposing stands and a “Rattler Nation” sign that is
backlit, the new SMCISD football stadium has several must-see features. Eads said we built the new stadium with the players in mind. We wanted something our team could be proud of and a place the players could call home. A new stadium isn’t the only thing that is new around the San Marcos football program this season. The Rattlers have joined a new district — 27-5A — and will face Alamo Heights (Oct. 3), Kerrville-Tivy (Oct. 17) and Boerne-Champion in their new digs.

And no matter what we have ever gone through we have always experienced happiness and a beautiful life through the two things that have always been a foundation for our family, which are God and Football!!!
