The stadium was originally home to the minor league Anderson Senators class A team.

Willie Mays visited the city in the summer of 1974 as part of a goodwill tour as a roving ambassador and coach with the New York Mets franchise.

The team seemed to gain more enthusiastic crowds given the connection and close proximity to Atlanta and the Braves franchise.

1984 was the last season for the Braves at Memorial Stadium; they moved to Sumter, South Carolina at the end of 1984.

Sadly, the team and the league folded into bankruptcy and the stadium is once again empty except for Anderson University baseball games.
