Don Schaly Stadium
Pioneer Park was renamed Don Schaly Stadium in May 2006 to honor Hall of Fame coach Don Schaly, who amassed a 1,442-329 record over forty years.
Originally constructed in 1968, the natural
grass field is built to major-league dimensions of 330 feet
down the lines, 370 feet in the alleys and 410 feet to center.
Don Schaly Stadium also includes two batting cages with artificial
turf and a practice infield, both adjacent to the fully enclosed
stadium that seats over 1,500 of the Etta Express faithful.
Bleachers run from dugout to dugout, complementing the three-story
press box. A large electronic scoreboard oversees the park
from left-center field keeping the fans up-to-date on the
Pioneers’ success.
The park has also seen numerous post-season
games, including the NCAA Division III World Series from 1976-1987.
Don Schaly Stadium has had several renovations, including the press
box in 1988 and a lighting system in 1994. The park is located
on Mulholland Drive.
