Built in 1929, the grandstands of Selby are two separate smooth-finished concrete structures which provide seating for 9,100.
On March 18, 1985, Selby Field was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
Originally equipped with natural grass, the field switched to a FieldTurf artificial grass playing surface. Selby Stadium had previously been remodelled in 2010-11, when a lighting system and a video scoreboard were added.
Selby Field is located on South Henry Street, just east of the academic and administrative buildings of Ohio Wesleyan.
From 2012 through 2015, the Ohio Machine of Major League Lacrosse played home games at Selby Field.
