Maverick Stadium and its surrounding complex opened along with the "new" Marshall High School in the fall of 1980. For 40 years, the stadium has been an iconic fixture in the community and host for all kinds of events. Maverick Soccer was added as a sport in 1984 and has played every home game of its existence in Maverick Stadium. The Lady Mavs Soccer program was added over 20 years later and both programs now call the stadium home during the winter months. The grass field was replaced by an artificial turf surface in the early 2000s, which lasted until 2015 when it was replaced with a new turf. Defects in that turf began popping up and the turf was replaced once more for the 2020 season by Hellas Construction, an industry leader in turf fields that has served clients such as Baylor's McLane Stadium, Houston's NRG Stadium and the Dallas Cowboys' AT&T Stadium and Ford Center. The new turf installed in 2020 by Hellas also includes Eco-therm technology, which is a cooling system under the surface that is designed to lower the temperature of the turf by up to 30 degrees in the hot months of early fall in East Texas. Entering 2020, Maverick Stadium is the only surface in East Texas with the Ecotherm technology.
