Tiger Stadium the next week in a game against Tulane on November 27, 1924. During the 31 years that State Field was used as LSU's home field, 105 home games were played there. LSU's record at State Field was 83-20-2.^[3] During most of State Field's existence, it was used only for smaller games. Larger games were played at a baseball park in New Orleans that could accommodate around 5,000 spectators. A good crowd at State Field was only about 1,000 fans. In 1911, State Field got upgraded by the addition of a wodden grandstand that would hold 250 fans. Most of the fans attending home games at State Field at the time were still accustomed to standing room only. In 1917, State Field was moved across the street to where the current Louisiana State Capitol building is located. A wooden grandstand that held 7,000 spectators was installed that year. The seating was built using funds donated by a fan, H.V. Moseley.^[4]
