Fischer Field Stadium

Fischer Field Stadium is a concrete sports facility in Newton designed to hold large crowds for various events. The single-level structure accommodates around 5,000 spectators for athletic competitions and community gatherings.

The stadium was built in 1936 using funding from the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. This construction project was part of broader federal efforts to stimulate the economy by building public facilities.

The facility serves as a gathering place for high school sports competitions, graduations, concerts, and community festivals that happen throughout the year. You can see how local residents come together for celebrations and important occasions here.

The stadium is located within Athletic Park and underwent major renovations in 2004 that added modern locker rooms, restrooms, concession facilities, and artificial turf. These upgrades make visits more comfortable for spectators attending events.

This facility is one of the few athletic venues built through New Deal programs of the 1930s. Its historical importance from this era led to its recognition on both state and national historic registers.
