New Orleans Zephyrs
at 6000 Airline Dr., Metairie
Celebrating its 13th year in 2009, Zephyr Field - "the Shrine on Airline" - has become the focal point for family entertainment in the Greater New Orleans area. Over four million fans have attended a variety of events at the stadium since it first opened April 11, 1997. Zephyr Field features 10,000 chair-backed seats with cup-holders, plus seating for nearly 1,000 on The Levee in center field. The Zephyrs have drawn more than 320,000 fans in each of their nine seasons on Airline after drawing fewer than 200,000 in each of their four seasons at Privateer Park. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Zephyr Field served as a staging area for rescue operations by FEMA and the National Guard. After the stadium sustained multimillion dollar wind damage from the storm, a new scoreboard and sound system were installed in time for the 2006 season, and construction was done to fix the roof, field lights and Coors Light Party Shack in right field. On April 6th, 2006 Zephyr Field opened its gates to an opening day crowd of 11,006 to kick off a season that would see the New Orleans Zephyrs become the first professional sports team to permanently return to New Orleans following Katrina.
