re: NIMBY nightmare Yulman Stadium coming along nicely

there is a giant student parking lot right there in front of the athletic center, though it is for students so I don't know how it could be utilized


also, you could do what I often did, park across st Charles. I wouldn't hesitate walking magazine up to Claiborne, with a nice stroll through the campus...tailgating in Audubon

You talking about the Diebold or whatever parking garage? They use that for baseball games already.

No doubt. Now they really have 1000 people in the stands.

Me thinks this has something to do with LSU getting back off their arse, but I don't follow baseball recruiting.

NIMBYs are really gonna go apeshit when Warren Easton plays Karr there lol

ULL can get fricked, the only time they'll play in that stadium is when they play us, and there won't be many tickets available for the destitute, I mean ULL crowd.

Both schools really need to get off their asses (and get over themselves into thinking they will ever - or ever again in Tulane's - case have a 'rivalry' with LSU) and make that a yearly home and home.

Each team is really each other's best and only hope for a true legitimate rival, but sadly each has a large segment of its fanbase who are pining something else pie in the sky that will never (or never again) exist.

I admit I do not know much about NOLA politics other than it apparently puts most city governments to shame with its corruption.

The way it was once described to me was imagine if pretty much everyone behaved exactly like Dallas County Commissioner Dallas John Wiley Price.

Of course I'm not so sure that "Our Man Downtown" is much worse than any of the other Dallas leaders.


Is Tulane essentially in the same price range of neighborhood as SMU is in Highland Park making home acquisition extremely expensive?

Why did they go with the fake turf on the baseball field?
