RUSTON, LA

Home of the Louisiana Tech
Bulldogs, Joe Aillet Stadium, is located in Ruston, LA and in the Conference USA.
The stadium was built in the mid 1960s and became the
home of the Bulldogs when they played their first game there
on September 28, 1968 against ECU. It originally had a seating capacity of
23,000 and is named after former coach and athletic director
Joe Aillet.
The first of two additions to the stadium came
before the 1985 season when the skybox was built. In order to become a
Division 1A football program, the stadium was expanded to seat over
30,600 fans in 1990. Today, the stadium consists of single tier
grandstands on both sides of the playing field. The grass field has
recently been replaced with Fieldturf. In October 2013 Louisiana Tech
unveiled plans to construct a 70,000 square-foot
football operations facility in the south endzone of
Joe Aillet Stadium. It is expected to be completed
by the start of the 2015 season.
