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.

One of the oldest venues to still host high school football games in the state of Louisiana is BREC Memorial Stadium, host for multiple teams including the well known Catholic Bears.

The venue opened back in 1952 and can seat well over 21,000 fans for a Louisiana high school football game. 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.

For overall fan experience, this venue is closing in on being 50 years old and providing a good ole high school football experience.

Opened in 1984, the facility can host up to 6,300 fans on any given night and has all the amenities one would want for a game. From a vibrant atmosphere on Friday nights to ample seating on both home and away sides, this venue provides the perfect feel for high school football.

5. Matt Walker Memorial Stadium, Sulphur

We round out our list of Louisiana high school football stadiums with another goodie that we feel like couldn’t be left off the Top 5 list in Sulphur’s Matt Walker Memorial Stadium.

The stadium is more of your traditional high school facility, with no track or large video scoreboard, but does feature an artificial playing surface along with space to fit up to just under 9,000 screaming fans. With the stadium getting a overhaul back in 2014, the venue brings some of the best vibes for high school football.
