In addition to high school sports, Pennington Field was previously used by the DFW Tornados of the Premier Development League from 2004-2010, the American Eightman Football League (AEFL),[5] and the Red River Bowl for NJCAA.

In 2024, it was announced as a practice facility for the San Antonio Brahmas and Michigan Panthers of the UFL.

The stadium opened in 1987 as a state-of-the-art venue that would host not only American football games, but soccer matches and special events as well.

Pennington Field is still well known in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex as one of the most advanced and high-quality high school sports stadiums in the area.

[citation needed] In June 2010, the stadium's playing surface was replaced with a new Hellas Matrix turf.
