Another example of classic small college football is here in the heart of Salem. McCulloch Stadium is a single grandstand on the west side of the field. It seats about 2,400, and has a box under the roof large enough for the media, PA, scoreboard, coordinators from both teams, plus a separate box for the president and other bigwigs. The stand also houses both locker rooms.
The main entrance is due north of the stands, and this is the location of one of the main parking lots. Unless the weather is particularly brutal, the pre-game parties tend to be in either this lot, or using some of the actual park picnic/barbecue facilities to the south. Organized festivities are at a minimum compared to a larger facility, and due to this being a city park.
There is one rather amusing anecdote of this venue. In 2003 the football field and running track were being replaced. The company in charge of replacing the track started taking measurements, and reported back that the old track was six yards too long.
