We’re back again to continue our Friday Night Lights walk down memory laneWe’ve covered a lot of the remaining locations already but still have a few more to go! This week we’re taking you to West Dillon High School, where if you failed your classes there would be no FOOTBALL!  We’re looking at you, Tim Riggins.

West Dillon High School 

7104 Berkman Drive  1301 West Pecan Street 

This is where things get a little confusing. We still aren’t 100% sure which high school they used for the internal scenes for “West Dillon” but there are two schools they used for filming. One is Pflugerville High School and the other is Northwest Early College High School also known as Reagan Early College Prep. External shots of both schools were used but rumor has it that they only used Pflugerville for the pilot and Northwest for the rest of the series. If you happen to have the full scoop, let us know! Regardless, we recommend visiting both locations to get the full FNL experience.

As always, we encourage you to check out local filming locales, stop and take pictures but please be mindful. These locations are not just prop houses or buildings but real homes and establishments. Be respectful and courteous with your approach.

Looking for other FNL filming locations? Check out this post that documents ALL of the filming locations still standing as of Fall 2019.

And if you want to relive the glory of the series, it’s currently available to stream on the NBC app (you’ll need to authenticate), Hulu, or Starz.
