Fran Rish Stadium is a football/track stadium located adjacent to the grounds of Richland High School in Richland, Washington. Currently, it is the... home of the football teams of the two high schools in the city, the Richland Bombers and the Hanford Falcons, although the Falcons have a separate track facility at their high school. Neither school uses the stadium for soccer matches . The stadium was renovated in 1986, following a voter-approved bond issue. The original home bleachers, at the stadium's west side, still stand, but are now the visiting bleachers. The original announcer's booth now is used as a spotter's nest, for both home and visiting teams. The stadium was named after Fran Rish, a legendary football and baseball coach of Richland High School. Rish died in early February 2006.
