On August 5, 2004, Winona State University and Midwest Wireless entered into a ten-year agreement making the name of the football stadium Maxwell Field at Midwest Wireless Stadium. The agreement called for Midwest Wireless to donate $250,000 to the Winona State University Athletic Department.

On July 10, 2007, Winona State's Athletic Director Larry Holstad said that due to Alltel Wireless' purchase of Midwest Wireless, the stadium would be renamed.^[1]

The donation made it possible to build a new press box which eight skyboxes, coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, classrooms and locker rooms, as well as room for print, radio and television media outlets.

Maxwell Field is the first on-campus college athletic facility in Minnesota with a corporate sponsor. It will be followed in 2009 with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers' TCF Bank Stadium.
