Tulane Stadium, Football stadium in New Orleans, US.
The steel and concrete stadium featured four distinct sections with double-decked sides and a horseshoe configuration that accommodated 80,985 spectators.
Opening on October 23, 1926, Tulane Stadium emerged from donations by 6,000 citizens who contributed $300,000 to construct a venue for Green Wave football.
The stadium established itself as the center of Southern college football, hosting numerous Sugar Bowl games and becoming a symbol of New Orleans sports tradition.
The facility served multiple purposes as home to Tulane University Green Wave, New Orleans Saints, and major college bowl games until its closure in 1975.
The stadium stood on a former plantation where sugar was first produced in granulated form in the United States, leading to its connection with the Sugar Bowl.

New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, reveals its musical history through its neighborhoods and concert halls. The French Quarter features wrought-iron balconies and Creole buildings facing St. Louis Cathedral, while Bourbon Street is home to jazz clubs and music venues. Preservation Hall has upheld the jazz tradition since 1961 in a building from the 18th century, and Jackson Square hosts musicians and street performers in the city center. The musical heritage extends from the Marigny district, with its Creole houses and clubs, to Congo Square, once a gathering place for African music in the 19th century. The Garden District showcases its 19th-century homes surrounded by gardens, while City Park offers 500 hectares of century-old oaks and botanical gardens. The Louisiana State Museum completes this exploration with its regional history and art collections.
