Senate Resolution No. 557 recognizes the Tomato Bowl in Jacksonville, Texas, for being voted the top high school stadium in the state through a contest by Dave Campbell's Texas Football magazine, which garnered over 130,000 votes. The resolution highlights the stadium's historical significance, noting its design in the 1930s and construction in the early 1940s with the support of the Federal Works Progress Administration. Built on the site of the former East Side School, the Tomato Bowl features unique rock walls and a fieldhouse made from local materials, and it has been a cherished venue for community events since its first game in 1940.

The resolution commends the Jacksonville Independent School District for its efforts in preserving the Tomato Bowl's historic and architectural significance, especially following a major renovation in 2019 that maintained its integrity for future generations. The Tomato Bowl stands as a symbol of community pride, tradition, and school spirit, where student athletes compete amidst the support of families and fans. The Senate extends congratulations to the Jacksonville community for this recognition and expresses its esteem through the resolution.
