Groundbreaking for the stadium, originally named Archbishop Shaw High School Stadium, took place on November 1, 2017.[1] The stadium opened in 2018 and was later renamed Joe Zimmerman Stadium on September 13, 2019 after former Archbishop Shaw head football coach, Joe Zimmerman.[2][3] He served as head coach at the school from 1969 to 1982.[2]
From 2018 to 2019, it was the home stadium for the New Orleans Gold of Major League Rugby under the branding of Gold Stadium.[4]
In 2021, permanent lighting was added to the stadium.[5]
