History
The Field House was built on the campus of Loyola University in New Orleans in 1954 as a home for the university's basketball team.[1]
When the ABA awarded New Orleans a franchise in 1967, the Bucs made an agreement to play their home games at the Field House. They advanced to the ABA Finals in 1967–68, losing to the
Memphis Pros.[2]
The
New Orleans Jazz played some of their home games at the Field House for their inaugural 1974–75 season.[3]
When Loyola dropped varsity sports after the 1971–72 school year, the building became the Recreation Center, with most of the seating torn out. The building was demolished in 1986 to make way for a new Recreational Sports Complex and parking garage.
