The facility hosted the Sunflower Bowl during the bowl's entire operation, from 1982 to 1986. 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. The final Southwestern football game was played before the renovations on November 7, 2009 with a victory over Tabor.
