Before Majors Stadium became a baseball diamond, it was used in the early years by local high school football teams. On October 4, 1929, Dallas Oak Cliff and Greenville High School played the first contest at the venue.
The field was transformed for the Greenville Majors after their first year of existence. In 1947, the football stands were removed and the stands were rebuilt to accommodate baseball.
