Curley Culp attended Yuma High School from fall 1960 to May 1964. Curley had a positive impact on YHS during his time at YHS as well as for many years after his graduation. Curley excelled in football and wrestling during his years at YHS bringing positive attention to Criminal athletic programs. Upon graduation, Curley attended ASU and then followed into professional football, which culminated in his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Curley was also honored by the Yuma County Education Foundation for the positive image he brought to Yuma County. Curley has continued to influence YHS students, attending the yearly Hall of Fame induction events as well as speaking to the YHS student body on a variety of occasions and topics. The legacy of Curley Culp needs to be honored not only at YHS but also the City of Yuma. The Hall of Fame committee is currently working with the mayor to find a way to memorialize Curley at the community level and reinforce the positive model he has given locally.
We the undersigned enthusiastically support the Yuma High School Hall of Fame Committee's efforts to work with the City of Yuma to commemorate Curley Culp in the community and we wholeheartedly support the Hall of Fame Committee’s request to the Yuma Union High School District Governing Board to name the football stadium at Yuma High School the Curley Culp Stadium at Doan Field. We are asking for your support only at this time. Any donations solicited are in support of the web site hosting our petition.

I was blessed to have played football & on the wrestling team with Curly for 2 years! Well deserved honor and recognition he is receiving from so many friends acquaintances! He is well deserving of this not only for his athletics but especially for his academics!
I'm from the class of 1972 and wrestled all four years. Curly was always giving back to his high school. He would come into the wrestling room and work out with us. Very cool guy.
I played quarterback for Kofa High in 1964. The crosstown rivalry game against Yuma High was the game of the year. I remember it well was tackled several times by Curly, he was a monster, truly a stud. Definitely deserves all honors .
I support the Hall of Fame Committee's request to YHS district governing borad to name the stadium at YHS the Curley Cup Stadium at Doan Field.
Curley was a family friend and the big reason why I became a YHS varsity wrestler. Tho' I wanted to be a badass like Curley I never was. Yet again, there was only one Curley Culp. He was a gentle giant. People like him are rare. He was a gifted, hard working athlete and an all-round great person. I'm very happy to sign this petition.
As a former team mate and classmate,Curly Culp was a outstanding student and athlete.What he accomplished in his life is only fitting for recognition as suggested.
This is such a deserving recognition!

No doubt about your petition and project to commemorate the Curley Culp Memorial Stadium. Local legend and model citizen who represented Yuma as well as a lifestyle we need to emulate in these times.
