The ballpark was rebuilt during 2001 and opened in 2002 after the club played one season at Lon Goldstein Field.
During the team's inaugural 2014 season, LaGrave Field hosted home games for the Fort Worth Vaqueros FC of the National Premier Soccer League.
[3] Even at that, the ballpark was planned to be only a temporary site, to be replaced by an $8 million USD stadium owned by the Fort Worth Sports Authority; however that plan never materialized, due to soil contamination and water pollution at the city-owned site[4] In February 2010, former Fort Worth Cats owner Carl Bell defaulted on $30 million in notes with LaGrave Field as collateral.
[5] Former owner Bell also owed over $195,000 USD in property taxes and penalties for 2010 and sought a buyer for the stadium[6] A scheduled (January 3, 2012) foreclosure auction was averted due to a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy filing by LaGrave Reconstruction Company[7] Several months later, the debt holder Amegy Bank of Houston finally completed foreclosure and became the landlord of the Cats.
[8] On Tuesday, October 2, 2012, it was announced that LaGrave Field had been bought by an affiliate of the team's new ownership group for $4.5 million USD.
