Completely renovated in 2015 with new home side bleachers, with seating enough for over 6,000 fans to attend a game on any given Friday night.

Located in Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans, the stadium was once home to the defunct New Orleans Baby Cakes of Minor League Baseball, and the New Orleans Gold team in Major League Rugby. Now exclusively hosting high school football games in the fall, there’s very few places that rank with the Gold Mine on Airline. 3.

With grandstands that nearly encircle the entire field, other events around Baton Rogue also takes place at the venue, including monster truck rallies and concerts, makes this one of the top stadiums for prep football in the Pelican State.
