The following pictures were taken on the afternoon of November 10, 2013 and show the bleachers being dismantled at Memorial Field in Newell. At the time, the
visitor side was completely removed and work had begun on the home side. Also most of the chain link fence had been taken down.
The Hancock Commissioners bought the stadium property from the Hancock County school board in December 2012 for $400,000. The Memorial gates and pillars at the entrance will stay, but everything else is to be removed. One of the bottom photo shows 3.7 acres of land is available for sale or lease.
