Ground was broken on September 4, 2002, and was completed in just over nine months by Titan Construction, opening June 6, 2003. Baseball had a record paid attendance of 10,345 on June 23, 2007.
Major League Soccer attendance, with the updated seating configuration, regularly exceeded 8,000, and its record paid attendance was 10,385 on March 29, 2008. The 2006 Northern League All-Star game was held at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on July 18, with related festivities the day before. Sporting Kansas City played its home games at the stadium while the team's new stadium was being constructed. Because of the soccer presence, the Baseball configuration had taken an unusual step. In most natural grass fields the base lines where baserunners run between bases is dirt. However, CommunityAmerica Ballpark had dirt sliding pits just around the three bases, homeplate, and the pitchers mound, much like most typical artificial turf baseball fields. This was so that grounds crews would not need to install excessive amounts of grass for each Wizards home game. On March 29, 2008, the Wizards played their first game at the ballpark and defeated
D.C. United 2–0 in front of a sell-out crowd. Before the start of the 2008 season, the left field berm area was replaced with permanent bleacher seats. Additional metal bleachers were added on the concourse running from behind the former left field berm to the bullpens in center field. This added 2,172 to the ballpark's fixed
seating capacity, raising it from its originally 4,365 fixed seats. On June 3, 2007 the ballpark was the site of a
world record-setting performance of the
Deep Purple hit "
Smoke on the Water" by 1683 guitarists, in a publicity stunt for KYYS radio (now
KZPT). On November 20, 2017, the T-Bones announced that the naming rights agreement between the team and CommunityAmerica would not be renewed, with the facility being named T-Bones Stadium on an interim basis. In July 2019, the T-Bones reached a naming-rights deal with Kansas City-based Pro Athlete, Inc. to use their JustBats brand in renaming the playing surface JustBats Field at T-Bones Stadium. The
Unified Government of
Wyandotte County/
Kansas City, Kansas evicted the T-Bones from the stadium on October 14, 2019 for failure to keep up rent and utility payments. Days later, the Unified Government approved a stadium lease with an organization trying to purchase the T-Bones. The purchase was completed. The new five-year lease has three five-year options.
The Kansas City Star reported in December 2020 that the Kansas City NWSL team would play home matches in the stadium. In January 2021, the stadium was renamed "Field of Legends" to reflect the T-Bones rebranding as the Monarchs. It is now called "Legends Field". ==Gallery==
