context_page_description: Pelican Stadium, originally known as Heinemann Park, was a sports stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana from 1915 to 1957.
context_section_description: The stadium was designed by New Orleans architect Emile Weil and constructed at the southeast corner of Tulane Avenue and South Carrollton Avenue in Mid-City New Orleans, an area that was only recently being developed thanks to improved drainage. A short lived amusement park called "White City", was on the site just before, which in turn had replaced the Pelicans prior home field, Athletic Park. The Park spanned 458 feet (140 m) by 610 feet (190 m).
  Pelican Park (or Stadium) was located at Banks St. and Carrollton Avenue across the street from the present-day site of Jesuit High School. In 1914–1915, the park's wooden grandstand was disassembled and relocated three blocks down Carrollton Avenue by mules allocated by Heinemann to the intersection of Carrollton Avenue and Tulane Avenue. It reopened on April 13, 1915.
  Pelican Stadium was bounded by Tulane Avenue (northeast, left field); South Carrollton Avenue (northwest, home plate); Gravier Street, railroad tracks, and the New Basin Canal (southwest, right field); and Pierce Street (southeast, center field). The rail yards and canal visible behind the right field area in old photos have since been replaced and covered by Interstate 10 and its approach ramps. A pair of round-roofed buildings which sat across Gravier behind right center, are still visible on Google Maps.
