In 2013, Bradley Stephens, the mayor of Rosemont, proposed the area of Impact Field as a possible site for a new Chicago Cubs stadium.[3] It is located near O'Hare International Airport, as well as Allstate Arena, the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and the Fashion Outlets of Chicago.

In September 2017, Impact Networking, a provider of business technology services, purchased the naming rights to the ballpark over 12 years for an undisclosed sum.[4]

The Chicago Dogs played their first game at Impact Field on May 25, 2018. They lost to the visiting Kansas City T-Bones, 8–4, in front of a sell-out crowd of 6,317 people.[5]
