Known as “The Swamp”, Cajun Field is located in the heart of Louisiana. It was built for the 1971 season and instantly got its nickname. Unlike many other stadiums, fans attending games at Cajun Field do not have to walk up to their seats. The field is two feet below sea level and with the field being lower it allows fans to walk down to their seats. Because the field is two feet below sea level, four pumps are used to keep the field in good condition. Otherwise it would be swampy. Since its opening in 1971, the stadium has maintained a seating capacity of 31,000. In the future, the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns hope to have many successful seasons at the stadium.
