Bridgend RFC
moved to The Brewery Field in 1920 after their former home Quarella Ground was acquired for building purposes. The club's first stay at the Brewery Field ended in the 1928/29 season, when the ground was purchased by a Greyhound Racing Syndicate who organised greyhound racing meetings from 1929 and was still active in 1932. Bridgend RFC returned in 1935 only to go into exile yet again in May 1949 after being evicted after a rugby league team had signed up to take the lease of the ground, but eventually returned in 1957 with the ground in a poor state of repair. Most of the outside fencing was laid to the ground, essential services including water, heating, lighting and drainage were wrecked and needed to be completely re-installed. Other repairs and building work took place over several months and just in time for the 1957/8 season and the club have remained there ever since.Bridgend Town FC
moved to the Brewery Field in 2009 after the consortium that the club was part of, purchased the ground. The club had been without a home since leaving Coychurch Road in 2007 to make way for a supermarket development. They had ground-shared with Porthcawl Town F.C. until 2008 and then moved to the University of Glamorgan playing fields in Treforest Industrial Estate. The club played their first game at the Brewery Field in September 2009, when they beat Aberaman Athletic 1-0.In 2013 the club merged with local rivals Bryntirion Athletic to form Pen-y-Bont FC and will be based out of Bryntirion Park, meaning football will no longer be played the Brewery Field.
Celtic Warriors
played most of their home matches at the ground in their only season in 2003–04. The team was formed during the advent of regional rugby at the top level of rugby union in Wales and was the partnership of Bridgend RFC and Pontypridd RFC. The ground hosted all but 3 of the club's home games. A then capacity-crowd of 10,000 saw the team host London Wasps in the Heineken Cup competition. The team was culled after just one season due to financial difficulties by the Welsh Rugby Union, neither Bridgend or Pontypridd had any sort of ownership of the region at the time of closure.Bridgend Blue Bulls RLFC
Rugby league team Bridgend Blue Bulls played at the ground in 2005, winning all their home games, including the RLC Welsh Grand Final 56-16 against Torfaen Tigers. The ground also hosted the Harry Jepson Cup final, which the club reached and ran out 60-10 winners over Leeds Akkies. The club didn't remain at the ground beyond the 2005 season and are now based at Pyle RFC.Celtic Crusaders RLFC
played their first four seasons of their existence at the ground, to which they had ownership of, between 2006 and 2009. The team played in the lower leagues of professional rugby league during their first few years, before they were given a franchise to operate in the Super League, the elite rugby league competition in Europe, from 2009 to 2011. They played their first Super League home game at the stadium on 21 February 2009 against Hull F.C. The Crusaders won their first Super League game at Brewery Field on 13 June 2009 with a shock win against the Wigan Warriors. They re-located to The Racecourse Ground in Wrexham at the end of 2009 and disbanded two years later. It was also the headquarters of Wales Rugby League and home of the Wales national rugby league team, but they have since re-located.Ownership
The ground changed ownership in 2009. Before this change the long-term lease was owned by the Crusaders and the Bridgend Ravens had to rent the ground from the Crusaders throughout the winter. The lease is now owned by a consortium - Brewery Field Ltd.In July 2010, a story was published that many misunderstood to mean Bridgend Ravens had sole ownership of the famous ground. In fact the story was only reporting that Bridgend Ravens had finally purchased their half of the lease for the Brewery Field from Bridgend Town having not been financially able to at the original transfer of ownership. The ground remains in 50/50 ownership between Bridgend Ravens and Bridgend Town Football Club.

In August 2017, Bridgend Ravens announced that the stadium would be renamed the Morganstone Brewery Field on a two-year deal.
