- Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium
Lewis-Gale Medical Center Field at Salem Memorial Baseball Stadium is a stadium in Salem, Virginia and is part of the James E. Taliferro Sports and Entertainment Complex along with the Salem Civic Center and Salem Football Stadium. On April 5, 2006, it sold its naming rights to Lewis-Gale Hospital. Some local residents were critical that Salem did not receive enough money for the naming-rights. The stadium is primarily used for baseball, and is the home field of the Salem Avalanche, a minor league baseball team in the high class A Carolina League. It was built in 1995 at a cost of $10.1 Million to replace the over sixty year old Salem Municipal Stadium. It holds 6,300 people, and offers an impressive view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The stadium features 4 concession stands, numerous other carts, and 8 large restrooms. Lines are usually not a problem even with large crowds. There is ample free parking on site which is easily accessed from U.S. 11, U.S. 460, Virginia 419, and Interstate 81. In part because of the promotions, the Avalanche have been more successful in building and maintaing attendance than the Roanoke Valley's other minor league sports teams.
Salem Memorial Stadium features 20ft outfield walls. Its dimensions are left field - 325ft, center field - 401ft, and right field - 325ft.
