In 2180, the Commonwealth Minutemen defended the city from an attacking horde of super mutants, causing the militia's rise to prominence. The stadium and those who live within have experienced several significant events after the war. These overlooked the lower field where those with less means took up residence. It developed a degree of social stratification as wealthier residents came to occupy properties in the settlement's exclusive upper stands.
