Selby Field
Selby has a seating capacity of 9,100, with all seats falling between the 15-yard lines of the field. Its press box was lauded as the largest in Ohio outside of Ohio Stadium.
Overview
Built in 1929, the grandstands of Selby are two separate smooth-finished concrete structures which provide seating for 9,100.
On March 18, 1985, Selby Field was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally equipped with natural grass, the field received a FieldTurf artificial grass playing surface for the 2014–15 sports season. Selby Stadium had previously been remodelled in 2010–11, when a lighting system and a video scoreboard were added.
Selby Field is located on South Henry Street, just east of the academic and administrative buildings of Ohio Wesleyan.
From 2012 through 2015, the Ohio Machine of Major League Lacrosse played home games at Selby Field.
