The area itself has been used for games, long before the present school site was even in existence. During the mid 1950's, while the majority of campus of what was then Weber Junior College, was located downtown, the foothills section which today is the site of the university, was purchased with an eye to the eventual move. The football stadium was one of the first structures built. The earliest games played there had minimal seating, located on the nature hillside on the east side of the field. This was later made into permanent concrete bleachers and went through three subsequent expansions.

In 1966, the west stands were added and the area became a stadium, not just a playing field. The seating in the Stadium was raised to just over 17,000, a modern three story press box was added, and in the space underneath the west side seats, were placed dressing rooms, training room and athletics department offices.

Thanks to a generous donation from the Stewart Education Foundation, Weber State opened the 38,000 square foot Sky Suites & Press Box Facility at the start of the 2001 football season.

This facility put the Wildcats’ home on par with the best Division I facilities in the country. The six-story complex includes 26 sky suites, press facilities, a conference level and a Wildcat All-American room.

Views from the facility are breathtaking with the Wasatch Mountains to the East and the city of Ogden and the Great Salt Lake to the West.

The Stadium itself is located approximately 4,300 feet above sea level. The playing surface is natural grass, surrounded by a 400 meter purple track. The entire area is encompassed by trees and shrubs, giving it a "park-like appearance".
