The stadium has gone through many renovations over the years. In the 1940s and 1950s, the stadium had a large wooden grandstand. Soon after the folding of the Redding Browns and a fire in the grandstands in 1955, the grandstands were torn down and the stadium orientation was flipped so that the current location of home plate is in the original location of right field.

In 2016 the stadium received a major upgrade and face lift. The field was re-sodded, the backstop was moved up, new backstop nets were installed, new stadium seats from the former Travis Credit Union Park in Vacaville, California, were installed, and the dugouts were renovated and expanded.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
