The field has been home to Oakland men's and women's soccer since 2001. The 120-by-75-yard surface is seeded with Kentucky bluegrass and rye. Lights for night matches and a gated upper concourse were added in 2011. It has hosted league tournament games and NCAA postseason matches, and AC Milan, Panathinaikos, the U.S. Women's National Team and, in summer 2023, Premier League side Crystal Palace have all trained here.
