Opened in 1961, it is the home of the San Diego Toreros football and men's and women's soccer teams.

The stadium has hosted Major League Soccer and Liga MX exhibition games for the LA Galaxy, Club Tijuana, Toronto FC and Chivas USA.

The New England Patriots used the stadium as their practice facility for the week leading up to their game with the San Diego Chargers on December 7, 2014.

The playing surface is "Bandera" Bermuda grass, with soccer dimensions measuring 118 by 72 yards (108 m × 66 m), with football conforming to NCAA regulations.

The final steps included the paving of the pedestrian walkway that curves around three-quarters of the stadium and the installation of a new sound system and a video board and scoreboard.
