NATIONAL WILDLAND FIREFIGHTER DAY
July 2 honors the dedicated personnel who coordinate their efforts to protect the nation's wildlands. It's also a day to remember the sacrifice made each time a firefighter steps into a wildland fire.
Every year, wildfires burn millions of acres across the United States. Federal, state, local, military, contract, international firefighters and support staff respond to many different emergency events. These amazing individuals are the backbone of the wildland fire community. The men and women who work to save lives, property, infrastructure and precious natural and cultural resources every year, deserve incredible gratitude for their professional skills and efforts.
Wildland firefighters are highly trained emergency responders. They are an essential part of a coordinated effort across agencies to respond to wildland fires and other natural emergencies. They comprise crews on the ground, air support, smokejumpers, and incident management teams.
Which agencies comprise of the nation's wildland fire community and partners at the National Interagency Fire Center?
Technology
How does technology help fight wildland fires? Location-based technology tracks the location of people and equipment during a wildland fire. This technology offers a promising way to increase the efficiency and safety of wildfire management. Having a real-time view of resources on an incident enables fire managers to adjust their strategy and tactics more quickly as conditions on the ground change. A wide range of applications provide information during a wildland fire, such as:
- Warehouse inventory control;
- Planning for prescribed fires;
- Dispatch systems;
- Managing and sharing incident information;
- Tracking firefighter qualifications; and
- Much more!

Wildfire Prevention and Preparedness
How do I PREPARE FOR A WILDFIRE and RECREATE RESPONSIBLY?
- Create defensible space around your home.
- Harden your home and make it more fire resistant.
- Create a emergency supply kit.
- Create wildfire action plan.
- Report unattended fire by calling 911, especially if conditions are right.
- Remember to extinguish fire pits and campfires before leaving a campsite.
- Don’t throw lit cigarettes out of your moving car because the spark can start a fire, especially if you are in a dry area.
- Make sure caution is practiced when using flammable liquids.
- Have a fire extinguisher available.
- Honor local burning bans, enforcements, etc.
- Stay alert to local warnings when traveling through where a wildfire or smoke is present.
Other Fire Facts
- The overall wildfire activity for 2021 included 58,985 wildfires.
- Wildfires burned over 7 million acres in 2021.
- Wildland firefighters have a variety of tools at their disposal, radio systems (handheld radios and repeaters, remote automated weather stations (RAWS), hand tools (Pulaski, shovel, and Mcleod), aircraft, engines, heavy equipment like dozers, and water tenders.
- Shower units and caterers supply meals and water for larger fire events.
Fire needs heat, oxygen and fuel to survive and firefighters suppress fires by depriving them of that fuel. They perform the laborious, dirty work of starving fires of fuel by building “firelines,” which are a break in vegetation where the organic material is removed down to mineral soil. Today, firefighters on the ground use roughly the same tools to build firelines. A few if the tools used to clear organic material are:
- Chainsaws.
- Shovels.
- A combination axe and hoe called a Pulaski.

SAFETY TIPS
These hot temperatures can become life-threatening if the proper precautions are not taken. Residents can visit weatherwise.nola.gov to find localized updates on weather conditions when considering outdoor activities. Residents are advised to take the following precautions to prevent health emergencies due to overexposure to extreme heat:
- Stay indoors with air conditioning during the hottest parts of the day.
- If you must perform outdoor activities, do so early in the morning or late in the evening.
- Wear light, loose-fitting clothing and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun
- Most importantly, please stay hydrated. Be sure to drink plenty of water, and don’t wait until you’re thirsty. Avoid alcohol and caffeine.
- The very young, the elderly and those with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease are at a greater risk for heat-related health issues and should take extra precautions to stay cool and hydrated.
For more information about heat-related illnesses and tips on staying cool, visit https://ready.nola.gov/plan/heat/.
Children and pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle. Even in 70-degree weather, the interior temperature of a vehicle can increase rapidly, to over 100 degrees in just 20 minutes. Cracking a window does not help. Leaving a child or pet unattended in a vehicle often leads to a life-threatening emergency.
Anyone who sees a child or animal unattended in a vehicle is urged to call 9-1-1 immediately.

What happens when Hurricane Beryl enters the Gulf? Track, strength is uncertain.
There's still a lot of uncertainty about Hurricane Beryl after the next few days, including the storm's track and strength once it enters the Gulf of Mexico.
The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Beryl, a powerful Category 5 hurricane, had winds of 165 mph Tuesday morning and was moving west-northwest at 22 mph. Breyl broke records Monday night, becoming the earliest storm in history to reach Category 5 strength in the Atlantic.
Beryl will stay over water Tuesday, but may weaken some as it interferes with strong vertical wind shear, the NHC said. The storm is still expected reach Jamaica Wednesday as a major hurricane. The island country is under a hurricane warning. Life-threatening storm surge, heavy rain and catastrophic winds are expected.
Beryl's track in the Gulf
Beryl is expected to continue to move west-northwest, then shift west. The storm will be steered by a subtropical ridge, also known as a heat dome, sitting over a portion of the southern U.S.
But NHC forecasters said Tuesday morning there's still uncertainty about Beryl's track after 72 hours out, when the storm is expected to move over the Yucatan and enter the Gulf of Mexico. How strong Beryl will be at that time is also not certain, National Hurricane Center forecasters Lisa Bucci and Eric Blake said at 5 a.m. CST Tuesday.
"The latest track forecast has been nudged slightly to the north and lies closest to the corrected consensus aid," the NHC discussion with Bucci and Blake said. "There's still increased uncertainty in the track forecast beyond 72 hours, with the model guidance showing a large spread as Beryl emerges over the Gulf of Mexico."
Beryl will weaken, but by how much?
Beryl is expected to weaken as it moves through the Caribbean, and over the Yucatan Peninsula, but model guidances also don't agree on strength beyond 72 hours, Bucci and Blake said.
"Factors such as the possible interaction with the Jamaican elevated terrain, dry air intrusions and the structure of the vertical wind shear will all play a role in the rate of weakening," Bucci and Blake said. "The models show quite a range of solutions, with guidance between a strong tropical storm to a major hurricane while it nears the Yucatan Peninsula."
What does this mean for Louisiana?
Louisiana is not currently in Beryl's "cone of uncertainty" and impact is not forecasted, but there's too much uncertainty around the future track to be certain of Beryl's impacts once it enters the Gulf, the NHC said.
The NHC said the Yucatan, Belize, Jamaica, Cuba, and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico should continue monitoring Beryl's movements at hurricanes.gov.

After Tony Mandina’s closes, a classic New Orleans Italian restaurant to open in its place
One Gretna classic closes, but an even older restaurant from New Orleans will expand in its place.
Tony Mandina’s on the West Bank served its last chicken parm and lasagna over the weekend, closing Saturday and ending a four-decade run for the family-run restaurant. But very soon the red sauce will be ladled out again here as another famous name for Creole-Italian food takes its place.
The Mid-City restaurant Venezia will open a second location in the former home of Tony Mandina’s, confirmed Venezia proprietor Nicholas Bologna.
The Venezia Restaurant sign on Carrollton Ave. in New Orleans on Friday, March 8, 2019.
Advocate Staff photo by CHRIS GRANGER
He has a 30-year lease on the building at 1915 Pratt St. and plans to open the doors here for a second Venezia in mid July. It will serve the same menu as the Venezia on North Carrollton Avenue, which includes steak and pizza on its long roster of Creole-Italian dishes.
There are no changes planned at the original Mid-City location, said Bologna.
Growing in Gretna
The move comes as Bologna had been looking for a second location to expand capacity for a restaurant that draws regulars from around the region.
“I’m constantly having to turn away parties and rehearsal dinners, and this will give us so much more room,” he said.
The old Tony Mandina’s is roughly twice the size of the original Venezia, with a main dining room, bar, private dining room and a banquet space for about 100 people.
Bologna said he plans to retain Tony Mandina’s staff for this new Venezia. Getting them back to work is one reason he wants to open swiftly. Keeping the same staff will also contribute to what in some ways will be a restaurant of blended traditions.
“It’s two long-established Italian restaurants coming together,” Bologna said. “It’s going to be Venezia, but people used to going to Tony Mandina’s will see a lot of the same faces with a lot more to offer on the menu.”
Tony Mandina’s has no connection to the much-older Mandina’s Restaurant on Canal Street, located a few blocks from Venezia. The West Bank restaurant was opened by Grace and Tony Mandina 1982, and was more recently run by their daughter Kolette Mandina-Ditta.A
The restaurant was prized for its old-school flavors and hospitality, with a menu that ran through stuffed artichokes and turtle soup, specialties rarely seen outside home cooking (like braciolone) and house specials named for family members, like chicken Lindsey Grace (paneed chicken over pasta Alfredo).
It was a destination for celebrations and gatherings, and in this way served as an adjunct to home for many of its regulars.
In June, the Tony Mandina’s family announced they would close the restaurant, while continuing to develop their retail line, which includes the restaurant's red gravy and "Tony Mandina's Kitchen," the cookbook written by Mandina-Ditta and Poppy Tooker.
Venezia roots
Venezia got its start in Mid-City in 1957 at a time when many from the city’s Italian community were moving from the French Quarter (once a bastion of Italian immigrants) to other neighborhoods. It was the restaurant that introduced many in New Orleans to pizza back in the 1950s. It was also known for the stories that swirled around it in the early days.
Venezia was original operated by Anthony Carollo, the son of notorious mob boss Sylvestro “Silver Dollar Sam” Carollo, who would ultimately be better known for his own role in organized crime than as a restaurateur. The Bologna family bought the business in 1987, and has run it since.
For dessert?
The original Venezia is a block from Angelo Brocato Ice Cream, the Sicilian dessert emporium, and the two Italian spots have an entwined relationship. Many customers make the short walk from Venezia’s dining room to the gelato counter at Angelo Brocato into a two-part meal outing.

NEW ORLEANS — The City of New Orleans Department of Safety & Permits’ Healthy Homes Administration today announced their next series of Landlord Information Sessions. After the success of the first session, held on May 30 at Gernon Brown Recreation Center, and due to overwhelming interest from residents, the Healthy Homes Administration has now planned an additional seven meetings.
Aimed at providing information for rental property owners across the city, each Landlord Information Session will offer landlords an opportunity to learn the requirements of the Healthy Homes Ordinance, as well as how to register rental property with the City of New Orleans.
The registry process for Healthy Homes is being implemented in a phased approach, based on the total number of units on each parcel. The next round is for parcels with 4 – 49 dwelling units. Registration for these owners must be completed between July 1 to August 15, 2024. Owners of parcels with 4 – 49 dwelling units are encouraged to attend one of these sessions to receive more information on the process.
There will be at least one meeting in each City Council District, including two in Districts C and E. The dates and locations are as follows:
- Monday, July 1 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. at Robert E. Smith Library (6301 Canal Blvd.)
- Tuesday, July 2 from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. at East New Orleans Regional Library (5641 Read Blvd.)

Essence Fest 'clean zone' is now in effect. Here are the rules.
As Essence gears up for its 30th annual Festival of Culture in New Orleans on Thursday, controversial rules that govern the area around the event are already in effect.
The "clean zone" rules, approved by the City Council in June, ban certain activities during festival week— from handing out free samples to selling items from push carts— in an effort to protect event sponsors and organizers from competition.
Similar rules are commonly approved ahead of major events like French Quarter Festival and the NCAA Final Four. But this year, the ordinance provoked a barrage of criticism from residents and business owners who said the rules prevent locals from benefitting from the influx of tourist spending and violate their first amendment rights. In response, the council approved a last-minute change in June to ensure the city, not festival organizers, had ultimate authority over permitted activities.
The clean zone debate is likely to take on greater prominence as New Orleans officials ramp up their preparations— including enacting a clean zone— for next year's Super Bowl, set to take place in the Caesars Superdome in February.
Clean zone rules and boundaries
Under the clean zone restrictions, which went into effect at 6 a.m. Monday and extend through midnight on July 8, the following is prohibited:
- Any "temporary structure or encumbrances of any kind" including tents, canopies, and inflatable structures.
- Transacting "any business upon the public streets, sidewalks, or rights of way" including mobile or push-cart vending "not otherwise permitted."
- Distributing food or beverage samples or any promotional giveaways.
- Advertising for products and services including "cold air balloons, banners, pennants, flags," and more.
- Playing amplified music outside of an enclosed structure.
- Closing streets for any other activity, including film shoots.
Any of these activities are punishable by up to a $500 fine, up to six months in prison, or both.
The clean zone includes the Central Business District, the French Quarter, and part of the Tulane-Gravier neighborhood. The City Council amended the boundaries slightly this year to exclude parts of the 7th Ward.
A subsequent resolution passed by the City Council aims to protect the rights of street performers, who council members say the ordinance does not apply to.
A pattern of controversy
It remains to be seen whether this year's Essence Festival will bring a repeat of some of the controversies that have emerged in recent years.
Last year, Essence organizers shut down a mini book fest hosted by local Black-owned bookstore Baldwin & Co., claiming it violated the clean zone law. A stream of negative publicity and backlash led Essence to drop its lawsuit against the bookstore just a few days later.
The incident followed a similar suit Essence filed against Spotify and local real estate developer Sean Cummings in response to an event held by the music streaming service during the 2022 festival. Essence dropped the lawsuit in 2023.
In June, Essence festival organizers responded to concerns with a statement noting a new process for "local minority and women-owned businesses" that would allow them to apply for free to become a "festival-sanctioned event" during this year's celebration.
It is unclear whether that application process has opened. Representatives from Essence Festival did not respond to a request for comment.

NATIONAL ANISETTE DAY | JULY 2
On July 2 we recognize a liqueur derived from aniseed on National Anisette Day. Aniseed from the anis herb gives anisette its licorice or fennel flavor. While usually a dry, dry liqueur, distillers sometimes add a sugar syrup for a sweeter result. Spain, Italy, Portugal, and France lead the world in drinking this licorice-tasting drink.
The herb of the aniseed, usually the main ingredient in anisette, is considered to have medicinal qualities. Sweeter than other anise-flavored liqueurs, anisettes' association with various cures dates back to ancient Egypt. As a liqueur, distillers create a dryer anisette in Europe than they do in the United States.Distillers add other spices such as coriander and fruit to distill anisette, too.
While most enjoy anisette by sipping it, the liqueur can be mixed as a cocktail, too. However, pure anise extract should not be drunk straight. Since its alcoholic content is high, it irritates the throat. However, mixing it in with coffee, gin, bourbon, or water will bring out a bit of a sweet flavor. The solution? Bake some anise cookies!
If you're the one who eats all the black jelly beans, you will likely savor a shot with anisette. The licorice flavor comes from the same anise plant that we make some of our licorice candies from.

The Rise and Fall of Latin: How a Dead Language Still Lives in Modern Times
The Ancient Beginnings of Latin
The story of Latin begins in the 8th century BC, in a region known as Latium, which encompassed Rome and its surrounding areas in present-day Italy. Latin was the vernacular of these lands, spoken by shepherds, farmers, traders, and eventually, the grand orators and philosophers of Rome. As the Roman Republic and later the Roman Empire expanded, Latin spread with it, becoming the lingua franca of an empire that at its height spanned three continents.
The Golden and Silver Ages of Latin Literature
Latin literature thrived, especially during the Golden Age (80 BC – AD 14) and the Silver Age (AD 14 – 200). The Golden Age saw the works of great authors like Virgil, Horace, and Ovid, whose epic poems and lyrical verses are still studied today. The Silver Age was marked by the philosophical musings of Seneca and the satirical wit of Juvenal. These works, written in a language that was both elegant and complex, helped establish Latin as a language of intellectualism and refinement.
Latin as the Language of the Church and Scholarship
With the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century, Latin could have met its end. However, it found a new lease on life as the language of the Roman Catholic Church. Church proceedings, theological texts, and the Bible were all in Latin, thus preserving and promoting the language.
In the Middle Ages, Latin also became the language of scholarship. From Copernicus' astronomical theories to Newton's laws of physics, the major scientific works of the period were written in Latin. Similarly, Latin was the language of law, with legal codes and proceedings conducted in it. This use of Latin in various academic and professional fields reinforced its status as a language of learning, authority, and power.
The Decline of Latin
The decline of Latin began in the 17th century with the rise of vernacular languages. As more people became literate, there was a growing demand for books in the languages that they spoke and understood. At the same time, the scientific revolution and the Enlightenment promoted the idea that knowledge should be accessible to all, not just the educated elite. As a result, scholars began to write in their native tongues, leading to the gradual decline of Latin as a language of scholarship.
Latin Today: A Living Dead Language
Today, Latin is considered a 'dead' language, as it has no native speakers. However, it's far from being extinct. Latin lives on in the Roman Catholic Church, where it's still the official language. Latin Masses are held, and important documents are written in Latin.
Latin also survives in academia, particularly in the fields of theology, philosophy, and classical studies. It's also used in law, medicine, and science, with many terms and phrases still in Latin.
Moreover, Latin has had a profound influence on the Romance languages – Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian – all of which evolved from Latin. Even English, a Germanic language, has been heavily influenced by Latin, with about 60% of its vocabulary derived from Latin, either directly or through French.
Finally, the study of Latin continues to be valued for its cognitive benefits. Learning Latin can enhance vocabulary, improve understanding of grammar, and promote critical thinking skills.
In Conclusion: The Persistent Legacy of Latin
Latin's journey from the speech of Roman farmers to the language of an empire, from the voice of the Church and academia to a 'dead' language that continues to live, is a testament to its enduring influence. Latin may no longer be spoken conversationally, but its legacy persists in our languages, our institutions, and our culture. It's a language that links us to our past, and in a way, continues to shape our present. In this sense, Latin is not dead; it's immortal.

New Orleans - Still There More
Derby Gisclair
737 – 747 Magazine Street
This photograph from Charles Franck shows a commercial building at 737 – 747 Magazine Street housing the Universal Merchandise Company. It is bounded by Girod and Julia Streets. Formerly located at 512 Canal Street, the company moved to this location in 1940 and expanded their capacity to distribute dry goods – everything from Tip-Top Razor Blades to pharmaceuticals and toys.
Today this building is occupied by Bittersweet Café on the ground floor and a yoga studio on the top floor. The building on the right currently houses a law firm and the building on the left is the long-term home of a glass blowing studio and gallery.

Middendorf's Seafood Restaurant
·
Middendorf’s Seafood Restaurant turns 90 on July 4th. That’s right… 90 years of Middendorf’s and Thin Fried Catfish. We're ready to celebrate at both locations, Middendorf’s Manchac and Middendorf’s Slidell. There is something planned every day we're open the week of July 4th.
“90 years is really something, and we want to thank our guests for supporting us all of these years,” said Middendorf’s Owner Karen Pfeifer. “We put our heads together and came up with some really fun ideas for our birthday week including Spin & Win, Everyone Gets Cake, and a Stuffed Animal Giveaway. We love our Dorfers and are incredibly grateful for their support. We cannot do it without them.”
Middendorf’s started out as a small roadside diner back in 1934 in the middle of the Manchac, Louisiana Swamp. The first owners were Louis and Josie Middendorf. It was Mama Josie who created the delicious Thin Fried Catfish recipe that keeps hungry patrons coming back time and time again. We are proud to still be using her recipe today.
Since 1934, Middendorf’s has been locally owned and operated. Horst & Karen Pfeifer took the reins in 2007.
“We’ve had the restaurant now for 17 years, and it’s been both amazing and challenging,” shared Middendorf’s Owner Horst Pfeifer. “It’s hard work having the two locations, keeping them staffed and up to my standards. We’re also in Hurricane Season again, so there’s always a lot of planning and preparation involved. It’s all worth it for Middendorf’s. I love this restaurant and what it means to Louisiana.”
The 2024 Hurricane Season is the 90th one for Middendorf’s. Isn’t that something? See how Horst protects the restaurant in the latest episode of “Hangin’ with Horst” on Middendorf’s YouTube channel.... https://youtu.be/mWGO8-IlwFA?si=1hH5Anhro6vtCHp6
And, a final thought from Horst… “Whatever the future brings, running Middendorf’s is a true labor of love. We’ll keep doing the work to keep this Louisiana icon, the Home of the World Famous Original Thin Fried Catfish, going strong. And hopefully, we’ll be talking about this all again at 100 years.”

St Marys Assumption Church of St Alphonsus Parish New Orleans
Today, St. Alphonsus Parish and the Redemptorist Community welcomed the parishioners of St. Theresa of Avila Catholic Church at the 12pm bilingual Mass. Sadly, St. Theresa’s church will close after 175 years of serving the community on July 1st. There was a procession led by Fr.

Comedy House New Orleans
The most unique comedy show in New Orleans is The Open Mic From Hell, hosted by Chris Trew (as seen on MTV, Comedy Central, America's Got Talent)
CHNO ( Comedy house New Orleans)
609-610 Fulton St
New Orleans, LA 70130
Mon, July 8
8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
(Entry at 7:30 pm)
The Open Mic From Hell is the most unique night of comedy in New Orleans.
Everything about the show is chaotic and unpredictable in the most beautifully hilarious way.
The list of performers? A total mystery.
The jokes they’ll tell? Nobody knows, not even them.
How does it work? Comedians sign-up on the list an hour before showtime. At least 13 names get pulled out of the bucket.
When a name gets pulled they come on stage and make a choice - do they do an entirely new set based on words from the audience, or a special challenge set.
Past challenges have had comics doing their set outside on the street, with noise canceling headphones on, and with a designated heckler in the crowd. We are always adding new, improved, and ridiculous challenges to the show.

For total beginners to swing dancing or dancing of any kind. Also for those looking to refresh their basics and learn some ragtime dances. We use these pre-swing era dances to teach beginners how to step on rhythm, step on rhythm while connected to another person, how to connect in order to lead or follow, you'll learn to syncopate your footwork, and then we'll slowly start to let go of one hand and create the beginnings of what will eventually be a bad-ass swing out.
7:30-8:30 Lindy Hop Vocab - Intermediate Level
This class is gonna give you some must know moves, some technique, some philosophy, and of course, we'll continue to clarify and polish up your swing outs.

You're invited to witness construction of a first-of-its-kind project — a living shoreline constructed in front of a federal storm protection system and between two recreation areas: Bucktown Harbor Park & Marina and the Bonnabel Boat Launch
On July 9 at 2:30 p.m., marsh building at the Bucktown Living Shoreline Project will be in full swing, with a dredge pumping sediment from the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain through a pipe to the project site. The sediment will be used to build approximately 20 acres of intertidal marsh. Parish employees and the project team will be available to answer questions. We hope to see you there!

2024 Full Moon schedule
(all times Eastern)
- July 21 — 6:17 a.m. — Buck Moon
- Aug. 19 — 2:26 p.m. — Sturgeon Moon
- Sept. 17 — 10:34 p.m. — Corn Moon
- Oct. 17 — 7:26 a.m. — Hunter’s Moon
- Nov. 15 — 4:28 p.m. — Beaver Moon
- Dec. 15 — 4:02 a.m. Cold Moon
For instance, almost every month’s Full Moon boasts a name sourced from Native American, Colonial American, or other North American traditions, with their titles mirroring seasonal shifts and nature’s events.
Strawberry Moon (June): Marks the prime strawberry harvest season.
Buck Moon (July): Recognizing the new antlers on bucks.
Sturgeon Moon (August): Named after the abundant sturgeon fish.
Corn Moon (September): Signifying the corn harvesting period.
Hunter’s Moon (October): Commemorating the hunting season preceding winter.
Beaver Moon (November): Reflects the time when beavers are busy building their winter dams.
Cold Moon (December): Evocative of winter’s chill.
In addition, there are a few additional names for Full Moons that commonly make their way into public conversations and news.
Super Moon: This term is reserved for a Full Moon that aligns with the lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s nearest point to Earth in its orbit. This proximity renders the Full Moon unusually large and luminous. For a Full Moon to earn the Super Moon tag, it should be within approximately 90 percent of its closest distance to Earth.
Blue Moon: A Blue Moon is the second Full Moon in a month that experiences two Full Moons. This phenomenon graces our skies roughly every 2.7 years. Though the term suggests a color, Blue Moons aren’t truly blue. Very occasionally, atmospheric conditions such as recent volcanic eruptions might lend the Moon a slightly blueish tint, but this hue isn’t tied to the term.
Harvest Moon: Occurring closest to the autumnal equinox, typically in September, the Harvest Moon is often renowned for a distinct orange tint it might display. This Full Moon rises close to sunset and sets near sunrise, providing extended hours of bright moonlight. Historically, this was invaluable to farmers gathering their produce.

LSU Athletics is proud to announce its year-long celebration of 100 Years in Tiger Stadium, highlighted by stadium upgrades, events, storytelling initiatives, and a season-long celebration throughout the 2024 campaign.
Tiger Stadium, one of America’s most iconic sporting venues, first opened its gates on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 1924. Since then, the Tigers have won 450 contests in Death Valley, which has been home to two Heisman Trophy winners, four national championship teams, and 12 SEC title-winning squads.
Included in the celebration are several upgrades to Tiger Stadium, including a new videoboard and lighting system, as well as other upgrades designed to enhance the game day experience. Other events and celebrations will be announced throughout the year.
The 2024 home schedule features several marquee matchups, including home contests against Oklahoma, UCLA, and Alabama. Information on the full 2024 schedule and season tickets will be announced in the coming weeks.
One of the most legendary stadiums in all of college football, Tiger Stadium has been called “the best place in the world to watch a sporting event” by ESPN and “the pound-for-pound king of noise in college football.”
Entering its centennial season in 2024, Tiger Stadium has been a cornerstone of LSU Athletics and the Louisiana community for almost a century, hosting numerous NFL superstars, Heisman Trophy winners, and Hall of Famers since its opening in 1924. It serves as a sporting, cultural, and commercial hub for LSU Athletics, which contributes an estimated $500 million of economic activity for the state of Louisiana annually.

Another big piece of the Saints 2024 schedule has officially been finalized, with dates and times established for each of the Saints' three preseason games.
The team will have its first two preseason games out west due to their training camp being held in Irvine, California.
Here's how the slate shapes up:
- P1, Aug. 10 (Saturday): Saints at Arizona Cardinals, 7 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
- P2, Aug. 18: Saints at San Francisco 49ers, 7 p.m. (FOX)
- P3, Aug. 25: Tennessee Titans at Saints, 1 p.m. (FOX/Gray TV)
The Saints preseason opponents were announced with the rest of the 2024 schedule earlier in May, but exact dates and times for two of the matchups were left TBD. As is typical with the preseason, start times and days are all over the map. The Saints will kick off their preseason slate with a Saturday night game, and also start an hour later than a typical Sunday kick in the finale, hosted at the Caesars Superdome.
