As a football stadium, the field ran southeast to northwest, with one large concrete grandstand, along the southwest sideline, which was the third base line for baseball. The baseball diamond was aligned due north (home plate to second base), and the field was lit for night games.

Along with O'Connor Field House and Charolias Barn, Simplot Stadium is part of the Caldwell Events Center Complex. There are two other facilities on the complex, however only these three are owned by the city. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Multi-purpose stadium</span> Stadium designed for multifunctionality over specificity

A multi-purpose stadium is a type of stadium designed to be easily used by multiple types of events. While any stadium could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multifunctionality over specificity. It is used most commonly in Canada and the United States, where the two most popular outdoor team sports – American football and baseball – require radically different facilities. Football uses a rectangular field while baseball is played on a diamond and large outfield. Since Canadian football fields are larger than American ones, the design specifications for Canadian facilities is somewhat less demanding. The particular design to accommodate both is usually an oval, although some later designs use an octorad. While building stadiums in this way means that sports teams and governments can share costs, it also imposes some challenges.
