University Field has been home to KU football since 1936. The facility has also been home to KU men's and women's outdoor track and field. The current grandstand, press box, and concession stand were constructed for the 1988 season. In 2005, the current artificial turf was installed and the track was resurfaced, and Golden Bear field hockey moved to the facility. Lights were installed the same year, and first became operational for the 2006 season.
Golden Bear alumnus and Pro Football Hall of Famer Andre Reed '05 tossed the coin at the first football night game. The visitors' bleachers, which seat approximately 1,000, were replaced in 2010.The stadium has also hosted KU club and intramural sporting events, KU's spring commencement ceremonies (until 2005, the year Reed graduated), high school football, various special events, and occasional Golden Bear women's lacrosse games.
On Saturday, Oct. 18, 2014, the university dedicated the facility in honor of Reed at a pre-game ceremony. In honor of its 78-year history, the field at the facility retained the name University Field, and is referred to officially as University Field at Andre Reed Stadium.
