History
The outfield grass was seeded in 1962 and the stadium opened in 1963. It is named for William Mulcahy, a former assistant auditor at the Alaska Railroad station, and sits west of the Sullivan Arena across a parking lot. Both Alaska Baseball League teams, high school and American Legion teams play there, and the annual July 4 doubleheader between the Glacier Pilots and Bucs regularly draws more than 4,000 spectators.[1]
Renovations
Five bleacher sections were removed in 1999 to build a clubhouse, and in 2007 the stadium received a new scoreboard, fencing and box seats. A wooden beer garden, Home Brew Alley, replaced four bleacher sections in 2008, and after 2009 the dugouts were expanded and FieldTurf installed in the infield and foul territory, leaving the pitcher’s mound as the only natural dirt as of 2010.[1]
Notable moments
On July 31, 2003, a Cessna 207 made an emergency landing behind the left field fence during a game. Entertainers such as the San Diego Chicken and Max Patkin have also appeared there.[1]
