Ron Stephens Stadium - 1935 - Lawton, OK - Dated Architectural Structures Multifarious on Waymarking.com

Ron Stephens Stadium is located between N.W. 13th and 14th, bordered on the north by N.W. Dearborn Ave. and on the south by N.W. Bell Ave. The stadium was a WPA Project in 1936, and a pet project of administrator Ron Stephens.

The stadium is surrounded by a high granite wall, with granite and concrete stadium seating on either side of the football field. The stadium is still in use by the Lawton School District, and Jr. Varsity games, and Varsity scrimmages are also held. Occasionally, the stadium is used for civic events like the Relay for Life fundraising event.

The main entrance is located at the northwest corner and consists of a high stone arch with wood plank doors. The name of the stadium and a bronze WPA shield showing 1936 are mounted on the arch, with a cornerstone embedded into one of the pillars.
