It opened in 1930 and was named after famous Missouri resident Louis Houck.

The stadium is flanked on the southwest side by Houck Fieldhouse, which houses the Southeast Missouri State volleyball team.

Houck Stadium originally consisted of 5,240 seats on the south side of the field.

This phase was completed in 2023, and the Redhawks would play their first game in the newly renovated stadium on September 9, 2023.

On October 13, during a fan event, university president Carlos Vargas confirmed that a second phase of renovations would occur, focusing on adding a brand new press box to the stadium.
