‘Lights’ lights up San Marcos!
“Friday Night Lights” was all over San Marcos on Tuesday. In fact, San Marcos became Dillon, Texas, for a short time.
First the cast and crew took over City Hall for a scene featuring wheelchair-bound Jason Street (Scott Porter). They started in the lobby and spilled into several offices. The detail-oriented crew even re-labeled plaques honoring San Marcos council members with “Dillon City Council.”
After wrapping at City Hall, “Lights” moved to the San Marcos Police Station where Chief Howard Williams’ office was transformed into the headquarters of Dillon’s mayor.
The series also filmed scenes on the Texas State University-San Marcos campus at the End Zone Complex, the Bobcat Stadium parking lot, the press box, football offices, training areas, the Sac-N-Pac Room, and at the Aqua Sports Center.
This was the second episode filmed on the Texas State campus. Several weeks ago the production filmed a scene in Strahan Coliseum.
