This photo of Pelican Stadium was taken in 1947, it looks as if some construction is
underway, either at the stadium or on the street; it could be about the time they
removed the streetcar tracks and narrowed the Tulane Avenue neutral ground.

The Pelican baseball team had its start at Athletic Park, on Tulane Avenue between
S. Carrollton Avenue and S. pierce Street.  They won their first pennant in 1905 - a
year when many of their "home" games had to be out of town because of a yellow
fever epidemic in the city.  A few years later, they moved to Pelican Park on S.
Carrollton Avenue and Banks Street.  In 1915, they found their permanent home
when they made the move to Pelican Stadium (initially known as Heinemann Park) at
Tulane Avenue and S. Carrollton Avenue.  (The entire stadium was actually moved
to the new site by mules and wagons.)  The last baseball game played at Pelican
Stadium occurred on September 1, 1957.  Soon after that, it was demolished to
make way for the Fountainebleau Hotel.
