Clarinda's Municipal Stadium is the home of the Clarinda A's. There is a large grandstand behind home plate, which looks similar to a high school football grandstand (it doesn't wrap around the backstop). However, most of the local fans seem to prefer to set up their own lawn chairs on the 3rd base side of the diamond, between the grandstand and the concession stand.
Municipal Stadium's most unique feature is the way the fence does not extend all the way down the left field line, leaving no boundary between the fans and the outfield. Based on my own fuzzy memory and squinting at old photos I have taken there, the outfield dimensions are 340-395-335. (Any A's fans out there feel free to correct me in the comments section.) The corn behind the right field fence adds a nice Field of Dreams element as well.
