Shrine on Airline, Stadium in Metairie, Louisiana, United States
Shrine on Airline, also known as Gold Mine on Airline, is a stadium in Metairie, a suburb of New Orleans. It has a seating capacity of around 10,000 and features a rectangular field used for football and other sports, with a grass berm beyond center field.
Built in 1997 as Zephyr Field, it was renamed in 2017 when the local baseball team changed its name. After the team left in 2019, the stadium was repurposed for football and other sports.
The name Shrine on Airline comes from the nickname used by the public address announcer since the stadium opened. Today, visitors can enjoy local food like fried catfish and muffulettas while watching a game.
The stadium is easy to reach by car and has ample parking. Visitors should check the event schedule in advance, as access may be limited on non-event days.
The grass berm beyond center field, known as "the Levee", is the highest point in Metairie. The stadium also appeared in the 2004 movie Mr. 3000 and the 2006 movie Failure to Launch.
