The stadium opened in 2009, with an official dedication ceremony before a Kangaroos match on October 6, 2009.[2] It is named after Stanley H. Durwood, a longtime benefactor of the university's athletic department,[3] and his foundation contributed $5 million of the $9 million it cost to build the stadium.[2]

UMKC and FC Kansas City reached a two-year deal in January 2014 to play the team's home matches at DSSRF and to expand the seating capacity to 3,200,[1] but after one season, the team moved to Swope Soccer Village.[4]

The stadium also hosted a 2010 U.S. Open Cup match between the Kansas City Wizards (now Sporting Kansas City) and the Colorado Rapids.[5]
