On January 21, 1998, Central Missouri’s Board of Governors approved the naming of the facility, formerly known as Mules’ Field, in honor of Crane and Tompkins.

In the spring of 1998 Central Missouri James R. Crane Stadium at Robert N. Tompkins Field was completed to go along with the consistent NCAA Division II powerhouse Mules.

A $1.2 million construction project, funded primarily by Crane, added a locker room and coaches’ offices for the Mules, an umpires dressing room, new dugouts, permanent seats, a concession stand, a press box and lights to the already existing playing field. In the fall of 2004, a new facility was added to include indoor batting cages and bullpens, a weight room, storage facility, and umpires dressing room. Following that in 2006, permanent seat back chairs were installed for the fans.

In the fall of 2015, a $1.1 million project to outfit the stadium with a synthetic turf playing surface was funded primarily by Crane. The project, which includes synthetic turf from AstroTurf, was completed in time for the Mules’ 2016 home-opener. The field was officially dedicated at the 2016 home opener.

In the fall of 2021, the $2.1 million Crane Stadium Expansion Project was completed with a lead gift from Crane and a significant contribution from the Sunderland Foundation. The project was headlined by the addition of a 44-locker clubhouse that was designed to mirror a major league clubhouse. The project also brought permanent fan seating to the first base side and replaced the chair backs on the third base side. Finally, the entryway into Crane Stadium was redone with fan seating, new flagpoles to display the Mules' national title flags, and new fencing.
