Overview of the Sports Field at Mayfair Middle and High School

We are thrilled to announce the development of a new sports field at Mayfair Middle and High School, dedicated to enriching our students' athletic experiences and fostering a sense of community pride. This webpage serves as a hub for information, updates, and milestones as we start on this exciting project.

For over six decades, Mayfair and Bellflower Middle and High Schools have shared Ron Yary Stadium for various events, including football games and graduations. As we progress towards building a dedicated stadium for Mayfair in Lakewood, we aim to create a space that embodies the spirit of the Monsoons and meets the needs of our athletic programs.

The new stadium will offer several significant advantages:

• Increased Flexibility: Hosting games and events on-campus will provide greater scheduling flexibility, enhancing the overall athletics experience for our students.
• Accessibility: The new location will be more accessible for families, complete with convenient parking and the possibility of walking to games.
• Community Atmosphere: We anticipate a vibrant "Friday Night Lights" experience with packed bleachers and a dynamic community presence.
• Event Hosting Potential: The new facilities will allow us to host additional events such as band performances and athletic tournaments.

As our Monsoons continue to achieve success in their sports endeavors, having games held on campus will eliminate logistical hurdles, save on transportation costs, and allow for a more focused approach to our athletic programs.

We understand that this transition may evoke nostalgia for some, but we are committed to ensuring the process is smooth and filled with excitement. We encourage everyone to stay updated through this page and our Board Meeting announcements as we work toward making this vision come true.
