At the new Yulman Stadium, Tulane will occupy the east sideline, looking into the sun -- #wgnosports

Ed Daniels @WGNOsports · 1h
And the down and distance chains will be on Tulane's side of the field #wgnosports

I have spoken to several coaches about this issue -- am I overreacting to this? or is this a huge competitive disadvantage? #wgnosports

Ed Daniels @WGNOsports · 1h
To a man, these coaches have told me this is a true disadvantage -- if so, #wgnosports

Ed Daniels @WGNOsports · 1h
why would you build a new stadium and then put your coaches at such a disadvantage? Just so your team can be in front of the home fans?

Ed Daniels @WGNOsports · 1h
Very poor -- If you remember at the old Tulane Stadium -- and in just about every stadium in America, the home team is on the west side --

too bad - #wgnosports

What is also amazing is your hire a solid coach, he wins, you pay him over a million a year -- and then you do this #wgnosports

What happened to coming back on campus because it was so a big advantage? Oh, well #wgnosports

are they playing their games at 2:30? It shouldn't matter too much for night games.

Whats amazing to me is that Curtis Johnson goes 7-6 and he's making $1.2 million.

Seems like a bit of an overreaction by Ed.

Not saying he's wrong but I've never heard that before.

ASU's team and student crowd is on the east side. In 100+ degree weather. With no shade. Sounds like whining to me.

Wouldn't the Tulane home side be on the southeast side and be facing northwest? If I'm remembering the stadium plans correctly, it roughly follows the existing street grid in the area, which at that point Uptown is about 20-30 degrees SSW. Doesn't seem to be too much of a problem.

This is how I would have worded the subject in case anyone was wondering how this thread could have been improved.

I think CJ just said on the coaches show that they will not be using the sideline with the sun in their face.

Because the West side borders a neighborhood that Tulane tried unsuccessfully to appease by putting themselves at a competitive disadvantage and their home fans in the sun. Dumb arse liberal appeaser apologist.
