The stadium's primary user is the Paterson Board of Education, where it serves as a multipurpose facility for the city’s two high schools, Eastside High School and Kennedy High School. As of 2023, it also serves as the home stadium for the New Jersey Jackals of the Frontier League (FL). The Jackals spent their previous 25 seasons playing at Yogi Berra Stadium in Little Falls, New Jersey.
