Home of the New Orleans Saints for several years, Tulane Stadium was mainly known as being the home of the Tulane Green Wave (NCAA) and as the home of the Sugar Bowl. In the early 1920s in recognition of the Green Wave\'s achievements, 6,000 citizens of the area donated $300,000 to construct a football stadium. Named Tulane Stadium, it opened on October 23, 1926 when Tulane played Auburn. The stadium had a capacity of around 35,000 with stands on both sides of the gridiron.

The stadium was built on an old plantation where sugar was first granulated in the United States, thus it became the site of the Sugar Bowl. Tulane Stadium underwent many renovations during its existence. In 1937 the north end stands were added increasing the capacity by 14,000. Two years later the stadium was double decked increasing the capacity to 69,000. The final addition came in 1947 when the stadium was enlarged to seat 80,985 fans. Throughout the years improvements at the stadium included permanent seats, portal seats, scoreboards, and lights.
