Loyola University Stadium was an American football stadium in New Orleans.[2] It was home to the Loyola University Wolf Pack football and track and field teams.[3] The stadium opened in 1928.[3]
The stadium was a double-decker stadium with a track surrounding the grass playing field.[3] It was located on Freret Street at Calhoun Street between Bobet Hall and the gymnasium.[3][4][5][6] It hosted the first collegiate night game in the southern United States.[5]
The stadium also hosted high school football games.[7]
When the university closed its football program in 1939, the stadium was demolished soon after.[1]
