In 2015, the stadium received major upgrades due to the school officially becoming the owner. New rails and padding for the dugouts were added. The "double wall" fence was cut down to make the park more hitter-friendly. Currently,[when?] the stadium is getting repainted, locker rooms receiving new graphics and carpet, and a brand-new scoreboard donated by Coca-Cola will be placed just before the home opener.[citation needed]

The stadium, formerly owned by the City of Edinburg in years prior to 2014, was donated to the University of Texas System.[4] The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley operates the stadium.[5] It was renamed in 2016.[6]
