The field was replaced in 1986, and box seats and a new backstop followed in 1992. Renamed Allan Saxe Stadium in 1995 after Professor Allan Saxe funded a rebuilt grandstand and press box, it later took the name of Clay Gould, a Maverick player from 1989 to 1993 and head coach from 1999, who died of colon cancer on June 23, 2001.
