Pelican Park, 1910

Pelican Park was a sports stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana from 1908 to 1914.[1][2] The ballpark was bound by South Carrollton Avenue, Palmyra Street, Banks Street and Scott Street.[3] A contest was conducted to name the new ballpark. "Pelican Park" won out over scores of other entries.

When Pelican Park was demolished in 1914, the park's wooden grandstand was disassembled and relocated several blocks down Carrollton Avenue by mules to the intersection of Carrolton Avenue and Tulane Avenue. It reopened on April 13, 1915 as Pelican Stadium.

It was home to the New Orleans Pelicans baseball organization from 1908-1914.[4]
