The original Tiger Park was a softball stadium located on the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.[1] The stadium was located on the southwest corner of West Chimes Street and Alaska Street. It served as the home field of the LSU Tigers softball team from 1997 to 2008. The official capacity of the stadium was 1,000 people, however, the stadium held more than that when important rivals came to town or during post-season tournaments. The largest crowd to see a game in the original Tiger Park was on April 28, 2007, when LSU hosted Tennessee before a crowd of 2,326.[1]
