The stadium opened in 1994 as "Westcott Field".[1] It was used as a training facility during the 1994 FIFA World Cup, hosting The Netherlands, Germany, Bulgaria, and Sweden.
In 2022, the stadium was extensively renovated to include locker rooms, training facilities and new grandstands.[2] It was also renamed after local entrepreneur Ray Washburne[3][4] and his wife Heather, donors to the project.[1][5]
