re: More crazy talk about Tulane and Big 12

Tulane would build an on campus stadium if they joined the Big 12 and would play the smaller games in the new stadium and the bigger games in the Dome.

I don't think Tulane can build an on campus stadium bigger than a high school stadium on the foot print of what is left of the old Sugar Bowl stadium area. The neighbors would also freak out as there would be no room for any parking other than what is available for the baseball field.

I've read some posts about their assembling property on the north side of Claiborne Avenue and that isn't going to happen.

Spending more money on football and building a new stadium is a pipe dream for Tulane, if they got in the Big 12 that would be more justification for not building a small on campuis facility. Big time football should fill enough of the Mercedez Benz dome if there is support for Tulane football.
