The stadium is operated by the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) with a neighborhood-based booster club supporting the facility.

During the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, elements of the U.S. Army's First Cavalry Division used the stadium as a staging area to support a number of evacuation, security, and clean-up operations.

The American Red Cross took advantage of the safety provided by the troops to set up a humanitarian aide distribution point.

The football field was full of holes that officials pointed out the hazardous spots for maintenance men to fill in before games in 1995.
