From the time construction was finished prior to the 1990 season, Kentner Stadium has served as a hub of activity for Wake Forest athletics. In 1997, the facility's name was changed from Campus Stadium to Kentner Stadium in honor of Jeff Kentner, who was a generous supporter of the Touchdown 2000 athletic fund-raising effort. This multi-purpose complex, now the permanent home for Demon Deacon field hockey and track & field, is a significant landmark on the Wake Forest campus.

In the summer of 2004, Kentner Stadium underwent a multi-million dollar renovation; as part of this $55 million dollar renovation plan, Field Turf and Ballard Sports installed Astroturf 12 with PVC foam pad on top of Porous asphalt, which made the surface safe for intramural use and more suitable for Wake Forest's three-time ACC and national champion field hockey program. The renovation plan also included the addition of six automatic water cannons and two manual sprinklers to assist in maintaining the astroturf.

The track surface includes a 13mm full depth polyurethane surface (BSS 1000-embedded texture) and has been redesigned to enable sprint and hurdle races to be in either direction with the prevailing wind. An expanded area on the south end allows for men's and women's horizontal jumps to occur simultaneously; at the north end of the stadium, one can find a high jump area, a steeple pit, and a multiple-ring shot put area. In order to provide another wind option, an additional horizontal jump runway and pole vault area have been added to the south-east corner of the facility. These features allow the track staff to conduct more manageable competitions and the competing athletes to achieve improved performances. The renovation plan has lifted Kentner Stadium into the upper echelon of track and field facilities in the Southeast.

A major part of Kentner Stadium's appeal is the fact that many Wake Forest athletic teams can use it for conditioning or practice. Other uses of the facility include a cardiac rehabilitation program conducted by the Wake Forest Health and Exercise Science department and university-sponsored intramural games (lacrosse and field hockey). Logistically, Kentner Stadium contains permanent seating for approximately 4,000 spectators as well as a press box, upper-level viewing area, restrooms, lights, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, and concession facilities.
