The City of Hoquiam first got the idea for an all-wood stadium in the early 1930s when it applied for a Civil Works Administration grant.

A renovation grant was awarded through the "Save America's Treasures" program requested by Congressional Representative Norm Dicks in 2005.

The physical structure of Olympic Stadium is an old-growth fir heavy-timber frame with cedar shingles siding.

Built in a truncated U-shape with angled corners, the open portion of the 2+1⁄2-story grandstand faces east.
