In 2007, it hosted the NCAA Super Regionals for the first time in program history, where the Cardinals defeated Oklahoma State two games to one to advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

The office was refurbished and is now home to the Jewish Hospital Sports Medicine clinic, which was relocated from downtown.

The project to build the stadium was simultaneous with the redevelopment of the southern half of the property on the other side of Central Avenue into a 130,000-square-foot (12,000 m2) shopping center, with a UofL themed Kroger store as its anchor.

The stadium opened in 2005 and is named after former Louisville baseball player and founder of Long John Silver's and Rally's, Jim Patterson.

As part of the renovations, terraces were added behind the seating areas, and the press box and visiting locker rooms were improved.
