History
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina flooded the stadium. It was renovated and re-opened in 2008. A FieldTurf playing surface was installed at the stadium, along with new bleachers, new press box, new scoreboard and renovated locker rooms. The renovations were provided in part by the National Football League Youth Football Fund on behalf of the New Orleans Saints.
The Allstate Sugar Bowl Collegiate Lacrosse Series was held at the stadium from 2011 to 2015.[3][4]
The New Orleans Privateers club football team played at the stadium in 2012.
In 2015, the stadium hosted the high school rugby state championship.[5]
