NIMBY nightmare Yulman Stadium coming along nicely

I actually think it's pretty damn badass how they are shoe-horning that thing in there.

However, although I don't give two shits about the NIMBYs around there, I remain curiously skeptical to see what sort of nightmare ingress and egress of 30,000 people will look like in that space (both from a parking and even getting people on foot in and out of there perspective), if they really happen to actually draw that sort of crowd.

Damn.

I think they are hoping for a large walking and streetcar crowd. If there was any excitement around that team, that could make a very cool gameday atmosphere.

Tulane baseball draws a lot of people from around the area who want to go catch games. Football will do the same. People will be more inclined to enjoy a nice Saturday uptown than in an empty Dome

I'm just glad the campus, and therefore the stadium, abuts Claiborne. I moved away from Uptown because going between any two points south of Claiborne makes me want to shoot every driver of a motor vehicle.

frick those NIMBYs

It is going to be a bonkers game day atmosphere


and the concerns about parking is bullshite.


1. you can walk anywhere uptown.

2. streetcar

3. bike

4. park about 6 blocks away and walk

5. my friend lives right there on palmer, so I have good parking

Parking will be interesting when ULL comes for their bowl game or if Brother Martin plays Jesuit there.
