The East Hartford, Connecticut location for the stadium was a direct result of a donation by United Technologies Corporation of a 75-acre tract of land at the Pratt & Whitney campus. In gratitude for this donation, the stadium was given the name Rentschler Field, after Pratt & Whitney’s founder, Frederick Rentschler. Construction began in November of 2000, and the project was completed in August of 2003. On September 3, 2015, Rentschler Field was renamed Pratt & Whitney Stadium at Rentschler Field.

Pratt & Whitney Stadium features 40,000 seats in its open-air stadium. The natural grass field is set below ground level and the lower bowl of seats runs the entire circumference of the stadium. The U-shaped facility has an upper deck surrounding the field on the north, south, and east sides. A tower housing the club seating, luxury suites, and press accommodations span the south side of the stadium.
