The stadium is connected to Cashman Center, an exhibit hall and theater operated by the City of Las Vegas.

With the 51s trailing 3–2 in the bottom of the ninth inning and a runner on base, first baseman Pete Alonso hit a walk-off home run to left field giving Las Vegas a 4–3 win over the Sacramento River Cats.

Lights FC played their first game on February 10, 2018, an exhibition match against the Montreal Impact of Major League Soccer (MLS) in front of a crowd of 10,383 people.

[17] Cashman Field previously hosted MLS exhibition games between the LA Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes, dubbed the California Clasico in 2016 and 2017.

[21][22] However, the COVID-19 pandemic and cancellation of the 2020 season left the organization struggling to find the cashflow needed to properly renovate the aging facility.

[23] The Raiders would eventually move to Las Vegas full-time in 2020 and began playing at Allegiant Stadium in the unincorporated town of Paradise.

[24] The league ceased operations before the season's other two home games, which Sam Boyd had not yet agreed to host, could take place.

[28] From 2001 to 2003, the field hosted the Big League Challenge, a home run derby for star major leaguers after the conclusion of the MLB season.

[32] [33] Other concerts have included The Beach Boys,[34] Earth, Wind & Fire and The Doobie Brothers[35] In 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama hosted a rally for supporters at Cashman Field, prior to his election as President of the United States.

[38] During the last years of Triple-A baseball at Cashman Field, players and staff from both the home and visiting teams criticized the facility.

"[39] Pacific Coast League commissioner Branch Barrett Rickey expressed his concerns about the feasibility of the continuous usage of Cashman Field as a Triple-A ballpark.

In a letter to the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority which owned and operated the facility, he wrote that ensuring that the upgrades necessary to keep Cashman at something approaching Triple-A standards would require spending "many tens of millions of dollars" that would still not be enough to make the stadium "an optimal long-term solution."

The XFL had difficulties getting the playing surface to professional standards and maintaining it for the Vipers' use; dried, brown grass had to be painted green (causing the field to become slippery when heavy rains fell during the Vipers' home opener), divots caused by heavy equipment were noted on the field, ESPN's press box was open-air and covered by a tarp, and the boundary lines painted on the field were found to not be straight.

[41] Both the Vipers players and league president Russ Brandon noted that the field was structurally sound and held up well to the harsh conditions.

The city, so far, has been unsuccessful in its attempt to redevelop the site, with the convention halls and theater remaining closed, and only Cashman Field hosting events.
