🔼 X Marks The Spot. Tiger Stadium was named one of America’s Most Treasured Stadiums by the Historic Stadium Caucus, which is a bipartisan congressional effort to preserve, protect, and enhance iconic stadiums across the country. Key areas of focus will be security and safety enhancements, technological upgrades, and funding for infrastructure updates. Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of Louisiana for nearly a century.
