The stadium was originally intended to be complete before the 2016 USL season.[3] Toros played C.F. Monterrey from Mexico on March 22, 2017, to inaugurate their new stadium.[4] The Toros lost their exhibition match against Rayados 3–0 before a sellout crowd.[5]
In February 2024, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley announced that it had acquired the stadium for use as the primary venue for the new UTRGV Vaqueros football team, which begins play in 2025.[6] It was renamed after longtime UTRGV donors Robert and Janet Vackar on March 21, 2024.[7]
