The stadium was named the Wahine Softball Field when it first opened in 1985, but was renamed in 1998 when renovations expanding the seating capacity to 1,200 were completed.[4] The stadium also underwent renovations between the 2017 and 2018 seasons, when artificial turf and additional netting were installed, as well as the entire stadium being pinted.[5] As of 2021, the stadium is undergoing additional renovations: a new clubhouse holding coaches' offices and a locker room for players is expected to be completed by Summer 2021.[6]
