The former site of the third Tulane Stadium, 1926-1980. Home to Tulane University's football program, as well as the Sugar Bowl (1935-74), the New Orleans Saints (1967-74), and site of three Super Bowls - IV (January 11, 1970; only Kansas City Chiefs title), VI (January 16, 1972; first Dallas Cowboys title) and IX (January 12, 1975; first Pittsburgh Steelers title). In fact, Super Bowl IX was held here because the Louisiana Superdome was not ready in time for the game.
The stadium was demolished in 1979-80, and is the site of the Willow Street Dormitories (northwest side of stadium), Aron Student Residences (southeast corner of stadium), the Diboll Complex (southeast side of stadium), and the Reily Student Recreation Center (northeast end of stadium), as well as the Brown Quad, which is roughly in the location of the northern half of the field.
