It is one of the earliest examples of a soccer-specific stadium in the United States.After the demise of the Marksmen, the stadium was used as a home ground by other local teams, most notably Fall River F.C. and Ponta Delgada S.C, In 1922 Sam Mark took over Fall River United of the American Soccer League and renamed them Fall River Marksmen. Mark was willing to invest in the club and one of his first moves was to build the team its own stadium. He located it in North Tiverton, Rhode Island, just over the Massachusetts border from Fall River. This enabled the Marksmen to circumvent the Massachusetts Blue Laws and play on a Sunday.Although used primarily for soccer, Mark s also operated a semi-professional baseball team and the stadium s design was decidedly baseball-friendly. This included an L-shaped stand which was placed behind one of the corner-flags.
