The original stadium was a red brick structure that featured a grass field circled by a cinder track and was owned by the city and mostly maintained by community volunteers . In 1970 , a major renovation project was completed that expanded the seating capacity by 5,000 seats . An artificial grass playing surface was installed , and the playing surface was lowered . Along with that , a new press box and locker room for the home team was constructed . The 1970 season ended with the crash of Southern Airways Flight 932 on November 14 , which killed all 75 people aboard , including 37 players and six coaches
