Ivan Williams Field is a football and track stadium located in Fenton, Michigan. The original 1,700-seat stadium was built in 1969 as Tiger Field, along with the rest of the Fenton High School campus and served as home to the high school's Tigers football and track teams for 37 years.
The stadium was demolished in 2007 and a new 2,500-seat stadium was built on the same site later that year. As did its predecessor it is the home to Fenton High School Tigers football and track.
Although part of the Fenton Area School District complex, Ivan Williams Field and adjoining athletics facilities are managed by Southern Lakes Parks and Recreation, allowing the stadium to be used for community events, including the Fenton Freedom Festival fireworks and other special events.
Additional athletic facilities at Fenton High School include athletic fields, a 2,300-seat multipurpose gymnasium, and a recently renovated natatorium.

“The woman ... turned her melancholy tone into a scolding one. She was not very young, and the wrinkles in her face were filled with drops of water which had fallen from her eyes, which, with the yellowness of her complexion, made a figure not unlike a field in the decline of the year, when the harvest is gathered in and a smart shower of rain has filled the furrows with water. Her voice was so shrill that they all jumped into the coach as fast as they could and drove from the door.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
