Home of the Louisiana Tech
Bulldogs, Joe Aillet Stadium, is located in Ruston, LA and in the WAC
conference. The stadium was built in the mid 1960s and became the
home of the Bulldogs when they played their first game at the stadium
on September 28, 1968 against ECU. It originally had a seating capacity of
23,000. The stadium is named after former coach and athletic director
Joe Aillet.
The first of two additions to the stadium came
before the 1985 season when the skybox was built. In order to become a
Division 1A football program, the stadium was expanded to seat over
30,600 fans in 1990. Today, the stadium consists of single tier
grandstands on both sides of the playing field. The grass field has
recently been replaced with Fieldturf.
