They never should have torn it down.

That thing would shake. Went to a Saints game when I was about six years old. Everyone would stomp their feet, and it would shake,it was great!!

Didn't that guy post here? Maybe I'm mixing him up with someone else, but I seem to remember a guy posting that he was making a video about Tulane stadium and was asking if anyone remembered certain details about it.

I'm pretty sure it was him. He was asking about the stadium and details from when the Saints played there, or something along those lines, IIRC.

Was down on the field once. The " carpet" was like spring foam. It was surreal

That turf was awful, the amount of rats in that stadium was unreal.


I think until a few years ago st Charles was still using some bleachers from there

How can something that's been gone for nearly 50 years turn 100?

That’s correct, St Charles’ homestand is a piece that was salvaged from Tulane Stadium when it was demolished.

I thought that was Lutcher.

Lutcher’s original stadium was brick and wood frame. It burned down and they replaced it with all metal but that was maybe 10-15 years ago.
St Charles moved from Destrehan to Laplace in the early 80s right as Tulane Stadium was being torn down.

They found an Egyptian Mummy accidentally stored and forgotten about in the basements of Tulane Stadium
