The facility is named after Millie West, a contributor of over 50 years to William & Mary Athletics.

The original name for the small stadium came from Anheuser-Busch, formerly the largest American brewer.

Anheuser-Busch has a large presence in the Williamsburg area, including a brewery and the theme park Busch Gardens Williamsburg.

Adjacent to the Busch Tennis Courts is Busch Field, also sponsored by the company.

A unique feature to its design are the “California Corners”, which includes quarter fences that run along the sidelines to allow uninterrupted play.
