MUNSON STADIUM The
Munson Stadium was built by the
Works Progress Administration workers from 1938 to 1940.
Construction of a new stadium will begin with the demolition
of
the
home stands in December 2013. A $1 million dollar grant was given to
DHS
from the W.B. Munson Foundation. The west stands, the press
box,
and the concession area will be rebuilt.
