The football field and stadium were constructed in the late 1960s. The stadium and field were named in honor of J.W. Rea, superintendent of the Gosnell Public Schools (1956-1977), at the time of his retirement in 1977. During Mr. Rea's 21-year tenure, the Gosnell Public Schools underwent sudden growth by the reactivated Blytheville Air Force Base in the late 1950s. During the Cold War Era, the Blytheville Air Force Base was a strategic air base in the United States's Strategic Defense programs. As the Cold War Era subsided in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Blytheville Air Force Base was marked for closure that occurred in 1992.
