Greer Field at Turchin Stadium

Greer Field at Turchin Stadium is a baseball stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana. It is the on-campus home of the Tulane University Green Wave college baseball team. From 1893 to 1989, Tulane's home ballpark was Tulane Diamond, which was located about 100 feet (30 m) south of Turchin Stadium's current location. History The stadium was named for Robert Turchin, a World War II veteran and 1943 graduate of Tulane, and his wife, Lillian Turchin, who headed the drive in 1990 to build it. The stadium was in the midst of significant renovations following the 2005 season, but Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the facility, forcing the project to start over. Tulane had hoped to move into the renovated Turchin for the 2006 season but played the entire 2006 season at Zephyr Field in nearby Metairie. It was scheduled to be completed in April 2007, but heavy rain during the winter of 2007 pushed back the opening to the 2008 season. As the university spent $1.5 million before Katrina and was projected to spend $7.5 million after, the final renovation cost was estimated to be about $9 million, but by the end of construction the entirely new stadium had cost $10.5 million to build. Shortly after construction commenced, the Tulane University Athletics Department "expanded the scope" of the Tulane Athletics Brick Campaign. This mode of fundraising, in which fans could buy commemorative bricks to be placed at the entry of the new stadium, generated unexpected levels of interest, warranting the expansion. In 2008, at the official reopening, "Greer Field" was added to the name in honor of Phil Greer, chair of the Board of Tulane. The newly renovated Greer Field at Turchin Stadium reopened for the 2008 baseball season on February 22 with a 6–0 win over Illinois-Chicago in front of a sellout crowd of 5,093 fans. Turchin hosted the Conference USA baseball tournament that season. From 2011 to 2014, Turchin has hosted the Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 5A (top classification) state tournament. Tulane has won over 75% of its games in Turchin since its opening. In 2013, the Green Wave ranked 31st among Division I baseball programs attendance, averaging 2,080 per home game. Attendance records Single game Year-by-year Tournaments hosted C-USA Tournament (3): 1997, 2003, 2008 Metro Tournament (1): 1992 NCAA Regional Tournament (2): 2001, 2005 NCAA Super Regional (1): 2005 See also List of NCAA Division I baseball venues References External links Turchin Stadium Archived 2007-04-03 at the Wayback Machine Seating Chart Archived 2016-03-04 at the Wayback Machine

Heidelberg Hotel

Das Heidelberg Hotel, auch bekannt als Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center, ist ein Hotel und Baudenkmal in Baton Rouge, der Hauptstadt des US-Bundesstaats Louisiana. Architektur Das Gebäude ist zehn Stockwerke hoch und stilistisch ungefähr der Neuromanik zuzuordnen. Obwohl das Hotel im Verlaufe der Geschichte einige Umbauten erfuhr, hat es die meisten seiner architektonisch bedeutsamen Charakteristika beibehalten. Daher wirkt das Gebäude von der äußeren Form her immer noch wie ein für die 1920er Jahre stiltypisches eklektizistisches Hochhaus. Der mit Ziegelstein verkleidete Stahlskelettbau hatte ursprünglich im Erdgeschoss ein zentrales Foyer mit mehreren Nebenräumen und eine Bar, während im obersten Stockwerk ein großer Ballsaal lag. Geschichte Es wurde 1927 durch den Architekten Edward F. Neild erbaut und bildete damals eine Hauptattraktion der Downtown von Baton Rouge. Während seiner Amtszeit als Gouverneur von Louisiana suchte Huey Long für sich das größte Hotelzimmer der Stadt, das im Heidelberg Hotel lag, als Wohnsitz aus. In der Funktion als Longs inoffizielles Hauptquartier entwickelte sich das Hotel bald zu einem politischen Zentrum Louisianas, das nur von der Legislative des Bundesstaats übertroffen wurde. Den größten Teil seiner Autobiographie Every Man a King verfasste er in seiner Suite im Heidelberg Hotel. Am 10. Mai 1982 wurde das Heidelberg Hotel als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Am 5. August 2008 wurde die Denkmalschutzzone um das in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft liegende Hotel King erweitert. Weblinks Homepage Hilton Baton Rouge Capitol Center Anmerkungen

Puente de Huey P. Long

El puente de Huey P. Long (del inglés: Huey P. Long Bridge) es un puente con estructura de acero que cruza el río Misisipi en el sur de Luisiana. El puente incorpora tráfico ferroviario y de automóviles, haciendo de este puente un tanto peculiar. Inaugurado en diciembre de 1935, fue el primer puente sobre el río Misisipi en el estado de Luisiana. Actualmente, es una de las tres principales vías de transporte sobre el río en el área de Nueva Orleans. Antes de la construcción del puente, trenes y automóviles eran transportados por transbordadores. Fue el puente de ferrocarril más largo del mundo durante unos 15 años después de su construcción. Historia En 1929, el gobernador Huey P. Long hijo inició un programa dedicado a mejorar la infraestructura de transporte, incluyendo la construcción del primer puente sobre el río Misisipi en el estado. Fue diseñado y construido por el ingeniero polaco Ralph Modjeski. El puente era una obra de ingeniería significativa en su tiempo, teniendo en cuenta la precariedad del lecho del río. Los primeros ingenieros tuvieron problemas para encontrar un lugar adecuado para hundir las torres. A medida que la magnitud del proyecto se hizo evidente y los costos proyectados se dispararon, las dificultades financieras agravadas por la Gran Depresión retrasaron el proyecto. La construcción del puente se llevó a cabo sin tropiezos durante un período de tres años, con sólo pequeñas interrupciones debido a la marea alta y una huelga de un mes en septiembre de 1933.​ En 2012, fue declarado Monumento Histórico Nacional de Ingeniería Civil por la Sociedad Estadounidense de Ingenieros Civiles.​ Expansión Un proyecto de expansión por valor de $1200 millones se inició en abril de 2006 y es el primer cambio en la estructura desde que se abrió en 1935. El proyecto amplió la estructura de dos carriles de 2,7 m (9 pies) a tres carriles de 3,3 m (11 pies) e incluyó una orilla exterior de 2,4 m (8 pies) y una exterior de 0,6 m (2 pies), así como nuevas intersecciones marcadas que remplazarán los redondeles de Jefferson Highway y Bridge City Avenue. El proyecto fue terminado en 2013.​ Véase también Puentes más largos del mundo Referencias
Lafayette Cemetery No. 1

Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 is a historic cemetery in the Garden District neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana. Founded in 1833 and still in use today, the cemetery takes its name from its location in what was once the City of Lafayette, a suburb of New Orleans that was annexed by the larger metropolis in 1852. The city's first planned cemetery, it is notable for the architectural significance of its tombs and mausoleums, often containing multiple family members, and for its layout, a cruciform plan that allowed for funeral processions. Confined within a single city block, the cemetery contains approximately 1,100 family tombs and 7,000 people. Conservation The Cemetery was included in the National Register of Historic Places on February 1, 1972, for its architectural and social-historical importance. The World Monuments Fund placed Lafayette Cemetery No. 1 on its "Watch" list in 1996 due to the dilapidated state of some tombs, and it did so again in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina damaged much of the cemetery. The Fund subsequently partnered with Save Our Cemeteries, a nonprofit focused on preserving Louisiana's historic cemeteries, and the Preservation Trades Network to repair tombs and restore the cemetery's landscape. Save Our Cemeteries continues to advocate for the cemeteries and make repairs. The City of New Orleans closed the cemetery in September of 2019 to visitors. There is no date available for when it will reopen. Notable tombs John Howard Ferguson, defendant in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson court case that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities. Harry T. Hays, an American Army officer serving in the Mexican–American War and a general who served in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War; leader of a brigade known as the "Louisiana Tigers." In popular culture Literature While promoting her 1995 novel Memnoch the Devil, writer Anne Rice emerged from a coffin after riding through the cemetery. At the time, she lived in the nearby Garden District.
