In 1952, Graham Griswold donated US$25,000 and lumber towards the erection of a new football stadium, complete with grandstands.

The first game that occurred at the stadium took place on October 10, 1953, with Lewis & Clark against the Linfield Wildcats football team.

The AstroTurf (GameDay Grass 3D brand) playing surface was purchased for the field in 2010.

The school dedicated the field to former player and coach Fred Wilson that year.
