The stadium was called Athletic Park, until 1928 when Greensburg-Salem renamed the field after James H. Offutt, a community leader, and school director.

[5] On October 26, 1895, during a game between Greensburg and the Carnegie Athletic Club of Braddock, once Greensburg scored a touchdown after only a minute and a half into the game, some spectators at Athletic Park were, according to news reports at the time, were "so hilarious over the rout that they threw their hats in the air and some went in the creek" that ran past a corner of the field.

During this game, it was discovered that Western University's coach gave his players a set of signals, commonly used in pre-huddle football days, used by Penn State the year before.

[7][8] In the summer of 1936, Major League Baseball's St. Louis Cardinals, behind Pepper Martin, defeated their Class D Pennsylvania State Association farm team, the Greensburg Red Wings, 11-0, in front of 1,500 spectators at Offutt Field.

[9] In 1937, Greensburg Green Sox minor league baseball team was instrumental in getting funds for lights at Offutt Field in the city, setting the stage for night high school football, which debuted that fall.

[10] The field hosted minor league teams that were affiliated with the Cardinals, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers[11] In 2005, Greensburg-Salem School District and Seton Hill College agreed to a 10-year lease in which the college will pay $35,000 to the school district each year for the right to play its home games at Offutt Field.

Seton Hill has guaranteed the total amount of the lease, meaning it will be paid to the district even if the college finds another home field during its run.
