The stadium had its grand opening on October 14, 2017 as the Merrimack football team defeated Pace 44–10. At this time the stadium was simply referred to as Warrior Stadium.[3]
The stadium has since been named after Ken and Jincie Duane. Ken was a member of Merrimack's class of 1980 and was on the school's hockey and lacrosse programs. His wife served as a member of board of trustees. The stadium was opened in 2017 for bigger attendance figures as Merrimack’s enrollment began to grow.[4]
