History
Early uses
The stadium opened in 1931, and was used by local high schools and youth sporting events.[1] Additionally, the stadium hosted boxing matches and concerts, including The Jackson 5 and James Brown.
The stadium was home of the Westchester Bulls of the Atlantic Coast Football League (ACFL) in 1967 and 1968.[4] The New York Crusaders of the ACFL played at the stadium in 1973.[5]
However, in the late 1900s, the stadium was in a state of disrepair.
Renovations
In 2022, the field reopened after a $40 million renovation project that included renovated locker rooms, concessions, and facilities.[6][7]
The first athletic event to be held at the newly renovated stadium was a high school football game between Mount Vernon High School and Yonkers Force co-op.[1] Mount Vernon won 32 to 24.[8]
The stadium is also home to the Monroe University football team.
Westchester SC, a professional soccer team set to make their debut in 2025, will play their home matches at the stadium.[2][3]
