The stadium is located in the North Bank district of downtown alongside two other sports facilities: Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena to the southwest and The Podium to the south.

In 2006, the artificial turf was deemed unsafe, which ultimately led to the Spokane Shadow ending their time as tenants.

[7] Joe Albi continued to deteriorate over the following years, and by 2017 Spokane Public Schools began exploring options to replace the then 67-year-old stadium.

[10] The new proposal included a promise from USL to bring a professional team to Spokane and to pledge $2 million to the construction.

The location adjacent to the Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena and the then under-construction indoor track and field venue The Podium would help create a proper sports and event district in the city center.

These parameters included parking issues and congestion concerns, as well as ensuring that Spokane Public Schools would retain complete ownership rights over the new stadium.

[17] There are 17 entry gates along the west, south, and east sides of the facility, with 5,000 permanent seats: 2,491 plastic and 2,509 metal bench.

The playing field is 98,930 square feet (9,190 m2) of artificial turf in a traditional north-south alignment, with the grandstand and press box along the west sideline.
