In 1948, with James Cashman Sr. in charge, the Elks completed a stadium, aptly named Cashman Field. By the 1970s, Cashman Field had fallen into disrepair, with weeds growing around the concrete. Finally, in the early 1980s, the City of Las Vegas began renovating the complex. It reopened in 1983 as the $26-million, fifty-acre Cashman Field Center with a 100,000-square-foot convention center, a 1,954-seat theatre, sixteen meeting rooms, and a 9,000-seat stadium that housed the Las Vegas Stars, the AAA (the highest minor league) affiliate of the San Diego Padres.
