Friday Night Lights Tailgate and Pep Rally
This year marks the 10 year anniversary since the
almost-true-to-life story about high school football in Texas,
Friday Night Lights, first came on the air.
As any true fan of
Friday Night Lights knows, the story took place in the fictional town of Dillon, Texas, but the series was filmed right here in Austin, Texas and neighboring communities.
On Friday, June 10, fans were treated to an old-school high school pep rally and tailgate as many of the stars of
Friday Night Lights traveled out to the actual high school football stadium where the series was filmed, Panther Field in Del Valle, Texas. The cast reunion included tours of the locker rooms shown in the series, band performances including series star Jesse Plemons' band Cowboy and Indian, and Q and A interaction on stage.
Here's what the festivities looked like.
