It was named in honor of Louis Crews, who served as the team's head coach from 1960 to 1975.

The stadium features a two-level press box which can accommodate up to 30 sportswriters.

An all-weather, 8-lane running track surrounds the football playing surface.

The stadium hosted the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Outdoor Track & Field Championships in 2015, 2016, and 2017, and several AAU Track Meets during the summer months.

FieldTurf was originally installed in October 2012, and replaced with an all new state of the art FieldTurf surface in May 2023, one uses coconut husks instead of the traditional rubber pellets, which cools field temperatures.
