MENASHA — Menasha High School has won the $1 million home-field upgrade after being the top vote-getter in T-Mobile’s Friday Night Lights contest.

The company announced the winner Thursday.

The Bluejays will use the money for a game-changing football stadium upgrade, plus an epic 2027 field unveiling and tailgate celebration.

Menasha High School’s Nathan Calder Stadium was significantly damaged after an EF-3 tornado tore through the Fox Valley on July 27, 2026.

​The violent storm destroyed roughly half of the stadium’s bleachers, collapsing sections onto the home locker room while tearing up the turf and downing light poles.

The team played its home games this past season at Lawrence University in Appleton.
