The building project was set in motion in 2003 by V.J. "Puck" O'Neal, for whom the field is named.[3] O'Neal agreed to support the project if an American Legion-level facility was constructed in the city.[2] He donated $100,000 to the city to purchase land for the project.[4] In 2007, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament contributed $175,000 for construction of a stadium at the newly built facility.[2] After the arrival of the Marlins was announced, further renovations of the field took place in the winter of 2009. Big Rock's funds were used to construct additional seating at the venue.[4]
