Wynne Price, and three others
The league plays primarily at Wynne Price Field in Shasta Lake City and Doc Campbell Field at Volonte Park in Anderson, and occasionally at Tiger Field in Redding and Pawtuckett Field at Big League Dreams, also in Redding.
Every fixture carries both the field and the city, so nobody has to know which town Doc Campbell is in.
The league is explicit about why it works this way: it is independent but coordinates with the cities of Shasta Lake, Anderson and Redding, and part of what it does with its fees is to increase access to local fields and facilities for practices, scrimmages and other league functions.
A High Cheese schedule attaches the ground and the city to each game, which is precisely what this league already does by hand on every line of its table.
