Saint John's Preparatory School's football and track and field teams also use Clemens Stadium as their home facility.

Clay in the soil northeast of campus was dug out of a hill and fired in a nearby kiln to produce bricks for the new Abbey Church (now Great Hall) and Quadrangle.

After the buildings were completed, the chasm was filled with water and used as a cranberry bog for the monastery, university and preparatory school.

As athletics gained popularity among colleges across the United States, Saint John's was in need of an adequate field for football.

The fieldstone stadium entrance and ticket booth were demolished to make way for the Alcuin Library and road access to a parking lot in the 1960s.

The addition included five new suites, two bathrooms, elevator, expanded radio, coaching, and press boxes and a "Legends Room."

The largest crowd ever for NCAA Division III football was recorded on Sep 26, 2015, when the Johnnies hosted 17,327 fans in a loss of 14-35 to the University of Saint Thomas.

On November 8, 2003, Clemens Stadium hosted a then-NCAA Division III record 13,107 fans for a game against Bethel, for John Gagliardi's record-breaking 409th career victory.
