On March 27, 2013, New Mexico announced it was moving all its remaining home baseball games from Isotopes Park to the still-under-renovation Lobo Field, due to restrictions placed on the Lobos for the use of Isotopes Park.[2]

On December 11, 2015, the school announced that Tamaya Enterprises, which owns the Santa Ana Star Casino, agreed to a 10-year, $1 million naming rights deal for the stadium.[3]
