State Field was the home stadium of the Louisiana State University Tigers football team from 1917 to 1924. The field was built on the old downtown campus of LSU. It was located southeast of the Pentagon Barracks and slightly southwest of the site of the current Louisiana State Capitol Building adjacent to the Hill Memorial Library and George Peabody Hall. The field was known on the campus simply as the "athletic field" and was also used for LSU's basketball and baseball sports.
