It opened on April 24, 2021, and is home to the Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC who compete in the USL Championship, the second level of U.S. men's professional soccer.

Weidner Field was designed to energize the downtown area, spur adjacent real estate investment, increase tourism, and bring a sprawling community together.

Constructed at a cost of $750,000, the field uses coconut fibers and cork infill; it is the first of its kind to be approved in the world for professional soccer use.

The first soccer-related event at the stadium was an exhibition match against Orange County SC, in front of a reduced capacity of 2,000 due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

[21][22] Other notable performers who've played at Weidner Field includes AJR,[23] Incubus,[24] Jason Aldean,[25] and the Jonas Brothers,[26] amongst others.
