On August 7, 1976, the field hosted an NFL exhibition game between the [[Cleveland Browns]] and the [[Atlanta Falcons]]. The field also hosted the Oklahoma Outlaws and the Houston Gamblers of the USFL professional football league in 1984. Due to a conflict at Tulsa's Skelly Stadium, the Outlaws were forced to play their last Exhibition game in Stillwater, losing to the visiting Gamblers by a score of 34-734–7. Only 6,120 attended the cold February 19 game.<ref>{{cite news |title=Gamblers Trounce Outlaws 34–7|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1755&dat=19840220&id=a7oeAAAAIBAJ&sjid=vGgEAAAAIBAJ&pg=4941,11238445|newspaper=[[Sarasota Herald-Tribune]]|agency=[[Associated Press]]|date=February 20, 1984|accessdate=July 27, 2019|page=9B}}</ref>
