Richard L. Jantz Stadium (formerly "Sonner Stadium") is a sport stadium in
William Monypenny.[2]
Sunflower Bowl
The facility hosted the Sunflower Bowl during the bowl's entire operation, from 1982 to 1986.[3] The stadium is also used for local high school sporting events and other community events.
Rebuilding
In January 2009, the school announced plans for a major renovation, including changing the name from "Sonner Stadium" to "Richard L. Jantz Stadium". The renovations are expected to attract better student-athletes and bigger events to Winfield.[4] The final Southwestern football game was played before the renovations on November 7, 2009, with a victory over Tabor.[5]
