That's what I was thinking. Soccer field next to Reilly Center?

Really crappy camera phone shot of the stadium rendering...I think the same person took this that took the Shady's video.

Interesting. Are Tulane's weight room, film room, etc affected by this construction too?

Just read the article. The Big XII thing isn't confirmed yet, but those rumors have been strong for a few months.

I would like to see a game at Tulane stadium. I think this is a good idea to help out their sports program.

Anyone notice the rendering looks exactly like most MLS staying built recently? HOK designed all of those also...they seem to have a cookie cut stadium template and just hanged a few stylistic elements and the colors of the seats. I am still happy for Tulane, bit a little letdown with te generic plans.

To fit in the footprint they have, it will have to be built like the MLS stadiums. I think that would be a great way to go for Tulane, they don't need anything massive.

better picture,



tulanestadium.com has the full video


quote:

Thousands of people experienced college football on Tulane’s Uptown campus over multiple decades and even 36 years later it is not hard to find a story about someone’s experience at old Tulane Stadium. Boy Scouts selling programs… walking through the neighborhood in a sea of tailgaters… watching the Wave defeat LSU in front of a record crowd of 86,598 in 1973… neighborhood kids sneaking into the stadium to watch practice, all the while dreaming of someday playing for the Green Wave. The list goes on and on. It is time to recreate these memories for a new generation of Green Wave fans. The Tulane Community Stadium will be a catalyst for the resurgence of Tulane Football in New Orleans.

With an initial capacity of 30,000, the Community Stadium will create a home-field environment unrivaled in college football. Fans will be on top of the action on every side of the field and there will not be a bad seat in the house. It will serve as a critical recruiting tool for future Green Wave student-athletes and will provide another reason for Tulanians across the country to come back to campus and reconnect with their university.

The Community Stadium will serve as an epicenter of activity for Tulane University as well as serve as an incubator for future fans, students, and student-athletes. Thousands will be introduced (or re-introduced) to the new era of Tulane Football… one in which memories will be made and shared for decades by the next generation of Tulanians.

An on-campus stadium will foster a sense of community for students and will provide a rallying point and sense of pride and tradition. It will be a magnet for New Orleanians who want to experience college football in New Orleans. Fans young and old, alumni and those who never attended Tulane will swarm to the Community Stadium.

Tulane Football will be part of the fabric of our great city.

Tulane to Big 12 actually sorta of makes sense. Missouri is leaving next season for the SEC and UWV is more than likely not going to be able to leave before 2013 when the Big East's new members arrive. So the Big 12 add Tulane ato repalece Mizz.

As an LSU fan I'm happy for Tulane. Maybe it's because the rest of my family are die hard Wave fans.

I thought the student president's comment was pretty funny. He said he is good friends with the student president at LSU and was telling him Tulane was coming for LSU. Nothing wrong with that at all.

If Tulane were going to the Big 12, it seems they would've made a splash hire, instead of Curtis Johnson, and he may be okay. I'll believe Tulane to the Big 12 when it actually happens.
