About Falcon Field

As well known for track & field competitions as for football, Falcon Field is the home field for the Cerritos College Falcons football team. It has been the site for the U.S. National Track & Field Championships in 1990 and a frequent host to the California State High School Track & Field Championships. In 1996, the stadium track was re-surfaced thanks to a grant from the United States Olympic Committee.

Adjacent facilities at the college include the Cerritos Swim Center (a training site for the 1984 Olympic Games) and the 1,000-seat Kincaid Field for baseball.
