City Park Conservancy unveils renovations at Pan American Stadium

NEW ORLEANS ( WGNO ) — Officials with City Park Conservancy and the New Orleans Saints unveiled renovations to Pan American Stadium on Wednesday, Sept. 25.

City Park Conservancy leaders said the renovations included the installation of synthetic turf, new goalposts, new netting and a new PA system.

The additions are part of phase I, with a new scoreboard set to be completed later this month.

CPC officials said the $3.1 million project was approved in June and consists of three phases.

They said Pan Am Stadium was built in 1973 and was last majorly renovated in 2008.

“I’m elated to see this storied field get put to good use this season by the 10 home high-school football teams at Pan Am,” said Joe Giarrusso, District A Councilmember and CPIA Commissioner. “Our players and guests deserve great facilities that match the level of play taking place in them. We’re grateful to the Park and the Saints for making this happen in time for the season.”

Phase II of the project will include new stadium lighting and is expected to begin in 2025.
