SAN ANTONIO — Bandera and Lytle ISD wants your help in a national competition to get a new football stadium.
They're a part of the T-Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights contest for a football stadium makeover.
It's really easy for anyone wanting to help out. You just get on your phone and open up Instagram.
On the app, both districts are showing their spirit so you need to make a post and use the tags #FN5GL and #Sweepstakes.
You'll also need to @tmobile and @banderaisd or @lytlepirates2425.
In your post, you need tell your story on what Bandera or Lytle means to you and how a new stadium would make a difference.
"We're the only school in our district that has doesn't have turf. because we have our graduation still on there. So this wouldn't only benefit the football team, this would benefit the band or track. so many more aspects of our town and our community, so this would be really exciting for us to win this," Lytle ISD Athletic Director Lori Wilson said.
Bandera ISD's Director of Communications Tiffany Pierce says they want to win to make their stadium a place for everyone to enjoy.
"It's been over 20 years since Bandera has had any makeovers of any type so if the kids go out there and they're like, this is something cool, this is something I want my entire family to come out to, and we also do our graduation here," pierce said. "We just need a better renovated spot to show off what Bandera ISD represents."
So far, Bandera ISD has won $5,000 in the competition.
Both districts are competing against different high schools across the country and 16 will be selected to win $25,000.
Bandera ISD Director of athletics Joel Fontenot-Amedee is hoping they’ll be the winners.
"Our kids deserve nice things and our goal in athletics is to change lives, and something like that stadium makeover will help us change lives," Fontenot-Amedee said.
Fontenot-Amedee added how their field is one out of a handful that is still grass needing to be shared by soccer, band, and dance.
Bandera ISD has tried to pass two school bonds which included stadium renovations and were rejected.
The two districts will also be facing off on the football field Friday, September 13 during Bandera's homecoming game.
The sweepstakes will be going on until September 20, so again get on Instagram, make a post and share those tags.
