PRU & The Stadium at Salinas Sports Complex
The California Rodeo Association in conjunction with Public Recreation Unlimited announced plans to remodel Salinas Municipal Stadium. The remodel will transform the old minor league baseball stadium into a 5,000 seat soccer/ football facility. The $6 million dollar project will be funded completely with private funding. Depending on the success of fundraising, the project is scheduled to begin construction in the summer of 2012.
The stadium will feature a bowl design with the playing surface 11 feet below grandstand level. The field itself will be a synthetic turf surface and will be built to NCAA regulations.
The seating configuration will feature 3,628 seats on the home side of which 744 will be stadium seating. The visitor's side will have seating for 1400. Behind the north end zone area will be a grass area that can seat another 972 fans.
Other enhancements include a 2000 square foot field house, two separate entrances, a BBQ concession area, state of the art scoreboard and announcer/coaches booth. Over 100 new parking places will be added.
This facility will be a premier sports venue for the City of Salinas and provide opportunities to engage youth in positive activities. Potential uses for this facility include: professional soccer, high school all-star games for both football and soccer, Junior College all star games, Junior College bowl games, football and soccer clinics. To donate to the project please contact Warren Wayland at 831-759-6300.

The evening was a resounding success, bringing in an estimated $125,000 net profit through the live auction, ticket sales and a drawing for the ultimate tail gate package. The organizations that will use the new stadium that this money will go toward include not only North Salinas and Palma High School Football teams, but Pop Warner football teams, youth soccer leagues and the Boys and Girls Club. A total of 135 volunteers worked to make this event the tremendous success that it was.
