New Orleans-based LCMC Health has committed $600,000 for naming rights to the playing field at the planned 9th Ward Stadium in New Orleans, which will be known as Raising Cane’s 9th Ward Stadium at LCMC Health Field.
The Orleans Parish School Board approved and executed the naming agreements June 4 with LCMC Health and Raising Cane’s Restaurants, which committed $2 million as the official stadium partner.
The multiuse facility will feature an artificial turf field and grandstand seating for about 3,700 spectators, serving as the anchor home for George Washington Carver High School while remaining available to high schools and middle schools across NOLA Public Schools.
“Health extends far beyond the walls of a hospital,” LCMC Health CEO Greg Feirn said in a June 8 news release. “It begins with access to safe spaces, opportunities for physical activity, strong schools, and community connections. … We are honored to support a project that will create lasting benefits for students, families, and neighborhoods across New Orleans.”
