Pelican Stadium

Pelican Stadium

Pelican Stadium, also known as Heinemann Park, was a sports stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana, most notably used by the New Orleans Pelicans baseball team from 1915 through 1957.

The Stadium was constructed at the corner of Tulane and Carrollton Avenue in Mid City New Orleans, an area that was only recently being developed thanks to improved drainage. (A short lived amusement park, "White City", was on the site just before.) The Park spanned 458 feet by 610 feet. The Negro League "Black Pelicans" also played in the park.

It was demolished in 1957, becoming the site of Fountainbleau Hotel, and more recently a storage company and dorms for Xavier University of Louisiana students.
