On July 27, 2019, the stadium hosted a Cincinnati Bengals training camp. The event was part of commemorations of the National Football League's official centennial season, paying tribute to one of its charter franchises—the Dayton Triangles. The team and NFL originally aimed for the camp to be held on new turf at the Triangles' former home field, Triangle Park (site of the NFL's first game), but the construction was called off after the discovery of a "unique and sizable anomaly" on the site in an archaeological survey.
