Joe Aillet Stadium

I can hear dem ‘Dawgs a barkin’! I’m a Louisiana Tech Bulldog, through and through! And I LOVE Bulldog football! I know that one day soon, as my children get older, I will purchase season tickets here for the entire family! I want my kids to grow up with that Tech tradition, and even if neither end up attending here, at least they will know what it is to love an institution of higher learning. True enough, when compared to the behemoths of the Southeastern Conference, our little stadium, lacks maximum bells and whistles, but it is more than comparable to many mid-​major college stadiums around the southern U.S., and across our country. Many individuals have strapped it on, and played in this stadium, and left it when the time came, to then find even greater success on and in other fields. NFL Hall of Famers: Terry Bradshaw, Willie Roaf. Numerous Super Bowl Champions: Bradshaw, Chris Boniol, Doug Evans, Tramon Williams, Ryan Allen, etc. Canadian Football League Hall of Famer and All Time Great Matt Dunigan, Country Music Platimum-​Selling Artist and Movie Star Trace Adkins, Duck Call innovator and Reality TV Star Phil Robertson. I have seen countless games inside this stadium. I have also seen the greatest game ever played inside this stadium: a 31 – 30 come from waaaay behind victory over the then Freedom Bowl bound Colorado State University Rams, a non-​conference foe, on November 17^th, 1990, that then also propelled Tech into the Independence Bowl versus the University of Maryland! The goal posts came down for the first time in this stadium’s history, after all the time had expired from this spirited contest. This stadium these days (2016) is seeing some of its’ greatest, most inspired teamwork yet, as Head Coach Skip Holtz has taken the Bulldogs onwards and upwards to two consecutive bowl victories, and one Conference USA Championship appearance so far! Go ‘Dawgs!
