It is the home of the University of Maine Black Bears football team.

The stadium opened as Alumni Field in 1947 and underwent extensive renovations from 1996 to 1998.

The wood and steel grandstands, built in the 1940s, were condemned and demolished in 1996, replaced with the current east grandstand, along with a temporary structure on the west side, adjacent to Alfond Sports Arena.

The current west grandstand, lights, press, and luxury levels, as well as concessions and restroom amenities, were completed prior to the 1998 season.

The field is named for Phillip and Susan Morse, who donated the lights, original Astroturf and scoreboard.
