Originally named Aggie Field, the stadium was renamed to "Toomey Field" in 1962 in honor of Irving F. "Crip" Toomey, who served as Director of Athletics at UC Davis from 1929 until his death in 1961. Toomey graduated from UC Davis in 1923 and also served as the Aggies' basketball coach (1929–36) and football coach (1928–36).

The stadium was replaced by Aggie Stadium as the Aggies' home football stadium in 2007. It is now home to only the UC Davis track and field team.
