New Loeb Stadium Opens in Lafayette

The sounds of “play ball,” cracking bats, and fans cheering in the stands have returned to Loeb Stadium in Lafayette. Dedication ceremonies and the first baseball game occurred March 31 at the new, American Structurepoint-designed stadium that carries the name of the original stadium built in 1940.

Our architects took their design inspiration from the stadium’s original 1940s-era Art Deco architecture by using architectural precast concrete colonnade, traditional brick facades, and exposed structural steel. Loeb offers seating for 2,600 guests, including 1,910 chair-backed seats in the lower bowl. Additional seats are available via three suites, and lawn seating is available along the third baseline and behind the left field wall. The municipally owned stadium is the home of the Prospect League’s Lafayette Aviators and the Lafayette Jefferson High School baseball teams. The city envisions the stadium will host   multiple events year-round such as soccer and football games, concerts, movie nights, and more. We are honored to have been a part of a project that will provide many hours of recreation and entertainment to Lafayette residents and visitors for generations to come.
