Women's softball pitcher Joan Joyce struck out Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, and Johnny Pesky, in order, in the stadium, and in 1947 several members of the New York Yankees including Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Phil Rizzuto, and Spec Shea, played an exhibition game against the Waterbury Timers in the stadium.

From 1984 until 1991, the stadium hosted the AABC Mickey Mantle World Series for 15-16 year-old teams from the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

Future Major League stars including Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez, Mike Lowell, Nomar Garciaparra, Chuck Knoblauch, Brad Ausmus, Adam Hyzdu, and Mark Newfield all played in the tournament over the years.

In 2004 the Connecticut Hammers, a professional soccer franchise owned by Peter Carli, unsuccessfully attempted to convert the stadium to a soccer-only facility.

In 2017, the stadium also hosted the AABC Mickey Mantle World Series for 15-16 year old teams from across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
