The stadium consists of two bowed sideline grandstands and steel bleachers in the south endzone, which were added in 1982. Formerly, there were also bleachers in the north endzone, but they were removed for a pavilion area for parties. Through 37 seasons, the Bowling Green Falcons enjoyed an impressive 126-58-6 record at Doyt Perry Stadium.

In 1992, the stadium was renamed for Doyt L. Perry, a highly successful coach and athletic director at the school.
