Strawberry Stadium seating chart — Hammond, LA

Discover the Historic Strawberry Stadium

The Strawberry Stadium is more than a stadium — it's a campus landmark that brings fans close to the action in the heart of Hammond, Louisiana. Tucked along Western Ave. on Southeastern Louisiana University’s campus—about 55 miles north of New Orleans—it’s the kind of place where community atmosphere meets game-day energy. If you’re planning your visit, exploring the Strawberry Stadium seating chart is a smart first step to lock in the view you want.

Opened in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project, Strawberry Stadium blends classic collegiate architecture with modern updates. The 7,408-seat venue features a timeless brick façade and a prominent press box, with bench seating along the sidelines and a small number of chairback seats for added comfort. Renovations over the years have refreshed the press box, seating, and field surface while keeping the stadium’s historic charm intact.

Home to the Southeastern Louisiana Lions (NCAA Division I FCS), the stadium hosts university events, high school football, and memorable Lions matchups—including playoff appearances and rivalry games. It’s known for an intimate atmosphere where you’re close to the field and surrounded by campus spirit. For many fans, evening games bring an extra bonus: scenic sunset views over the stadium.

Inside, you’ll find a main grandstand with upgraded facilities, suites, and club seating that elevate the fan experience. Whether you’re here for a high-stakes conference game or a campus celebration, the setting feels personal—big on tradition and school pride, and built to make every seat feel connected to the moment.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before kickoff to make parking, entry, and finding your seats easy and stress-free. With on-campus lots near the venue and additional parking around Southeastern Louisiana University, getting in early gives you time to settle in and soak up the pre-game atmosphere.

Strawberry Stadium is an outdoor venue, so keep Louisiana’s hot, humid climate and occasional rain in mind. Lightweight, breathable clothing, sun protection, and a compact poncho can go a long way—especially for early-season day games or pop-up showers. Evening games can reward you with scenic sunset views over the stadium, so consider arriving in time for photos before kickoff.

Walking distances are generally short, and the area features minimal elevation change from parking to the entrances. If you’re meeting friends, coordinate a section and side (home or visitor) ahead of time so your group can head straight to your seats. Cell service is generally reliable, but it can be congested during large events—another good reason to arrive early and download tickets in advance.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to enjoy the on-campus setting at Southeastern Louisiana University. The stadium’s intimate atmosphere pairs perfectly with a relaxed pre-game walk around the area—then head to your section and settle in before kickoff. If you’re a photo fan, stake out your view early for the best sunset shots during evening games.

Coordinating with friends or family? Because seating is organized by side (Home and Visitor) and section number, share your section details in advance so your group can meet on the correct side and head in together. Downloading tickets beforehand and planning parking in one of the campus lots will help you breeze through entry.

If you’re turning game day into a full day out, downtown Hammond offers a lively mix of restaurants and local spots just a short drive from campus. It’s a convenient way to add a pre- or post-game meal to your plans without straying far from Western Ave.
