History

It is named for Burl Fowler, who led the Monett Cubs to two football state championships during his tenure. The stadium was named in his honor in 1978.[1] The field is named Kenley Richardson Field after Monett High schools first athletic director and a pioneer for many of the athletic programs in Monett.[2]

The first game held here occurred on September 13, 1968. In front of 2,000 fans, the Cubs prevailed 18–12 against the Bolivar Liberators. Raymond Krueger scored the first touchdown in the new facility on a reverse handoff from Bob Meuser after a Liberators' punt.[1]

In 1977 the stadium hosted its first state championship game in which the Cubs won their second state championship title.[1]
