Tad Gormley Stadium is a 25,600 seat facility located in City Park in New Orleans. Originally built during the Great Depression as a WPA project, Tad Gormley Stadium underwent a multi-million dollar facelift prior to the 1992 Olympic National Team Track and Field Trials. The Olympic trials were held at Tad Gormley, now sporting brand new bleacher seats and a row of box suites above the regular seating. The Gamblers moved to Tad Gormley this year from Pan-American Stadium on the other side of City Park.
The field dimensions for Gamblers' matches at Tad Gormley are 115 x 72 yards. The surface is artificial turf.
