Strawberry Stadium is a 7,408-seat football stadium in Hammond, Louisiana. It is home to the Southeastern Louisiana University Lions football team. The facility was constructed in 1937 as part of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s WPA program under project #3014. The stadium also hosts St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic High School football, and previously hosted Hammond High School football.
A renovation completed prior to the 2007 football season added club seating, six luxury suites, each accommodating 15 fans, as well as 116 seats outside of the Victory Club. The renovation also increased the press box size.[4][5] In addition, a new multilevel parking garage for 500 vehicles was constructed to the west of the stadium and connected to it. Before the 2012 season, new turf has been installed after being used at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
