The oldest facility on the Culver-Stockton campus, Ellison A. Poulton Stadium has served as the home of the Wildcat football team since 1948. In 2006, the Richeson Track was constructed and the stadium had an additional tenant with the formation of the track and field team.

The first football game was played in Poulton Stadium on Sept. 18, 1948, when Monmouth College defeated the Wildcats 12-6 in the season opener.

The stadium wasn't dedicated, however, until the Centennial Homecoming on Oct. 17, 1953, when it was named in memory of Poulton, a C-SC graduate and former football star.

The stadium originally contained concrete bleachers with a seating capacity of 1,563; however, C-SC purchased chair-back seats from the old Arrowhead Stadium, home of the Kansas City Chiefs, in 2003 and the stadium now has a capacity of 1,800 spectators. In 2017 the concrete base was torn out and a new set of bleachers, blue in color, were installed to replaced the old chair-back seats. In addition, many fans still bring lawn chairs and sit atop the hill on either side of the stadium. A record crowd of 3,000 attended the 1955 Homecoming game between Culver-Stockton and Central Methodist.

In 2014 a synthetic grass field was installed for football and men's and women's soccer.

The first football game was played on the new turf on Sept. 6, 2014, and the Wildcats prevailed 40-14 over MacMurray College. The C-SC gridders were 4-2 in its first season playing on the synthetic surface.

Meanwhile, the women's soccer team played its first game at Poulton Stadium on Sept. 24 and defeated nationally-ranked Saint Ambrose (Iowa) 2-1. The Lady Wildcats were 3-1-1 on the new surface that season.

The men's soccer team played at Poulton Stadium from 1988 to 1999 until Ayers Field opened as a soccer only facility in 2000. When the synthetic surface was installed in 2014, the men's soccer program moved back to Poulton Stadium and has played its games there ever since.

The men's soccer team dropped its first game on the turf, falling to Saint Ambrose 1-0. The Wildcats were only 2-4-1 overall on their new competition field; however, defeated Benedictine (Kan.) in a shootout in the Heart of America Athletic Conference quarterfinals. C-SC hosted the HAAC men's soccer championship at Poulton Stadium against Baker (Kan.) on Nov. 15, losing 3-1.

In the spring of 2020, the stadium will add a new tenant when women's lacrosse makes its debut on the Hill.

The new turf was dedicated on Sept. 6 prior to the first home football game. The field was made possible by a gift from Terry Ahern, Class of 1980, who is the general managing partner of NX Level Teamwear in Phoenix, Ariz.

Above the seating area sits the Roy D. Wilcox Memorial Press Box, which replaced the original, one-room press box that was built in 1953. The Wilcox press box, made possible by a gift from the Wilcox family, contains several rooms, including separate rooms for each coaching staff, a media room, a room for game-day personnel, a private room for special guests and a VIP room on the upper level.
