Hunter Stadium was built in 1976 by the St. Louis Cardinals NFL Football Team as a training camp location.

The stadium was the site of the 1978 Class 4-A Missouri State High School Football Championship game between Jefferson City and Hazelwood Central.

It is named after Dr. Harlen C. Hunter who founded the St. Louis Orthopedic Sports Medicine Clinic in Chesterfield in 1979, and made key monetary contributions for the upgrades of the playing surface in 1988.

[6] In 2019, the stadium hosted a U.S. Open Cup Fourth Round match featuring Saint Louis FC of the USL Championship and Chicago Fire of Major League Soccer.

The match was moved from STL FC's home field World Wide Technology Soccer Park because of flooding.
