DIRECTIONS TO SALEM STADIUM

 

The Salem Stadium is located on Texas Street in Salem just behind the Salem Civic Center next to the Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium.  From Interstate 81 take the exit for 419 South towards Salem.  Shortly after going through the third traffic light you will see a blockbuster Video on your right at this traffic signal.  You will then cross a small bridge.  Immediately after the bridge, bear right onto Texas Street.  Go about Ό of a mile and you will see the stadium on the left.

 

Please refer to your handbooks for bus etiquette and rules and regulations for out of school trips.   We will dress when we arrive at the school before each performance.  You will need money for dinner. Let us all have fun, work hard, play well, and have a great day!!!!
