So Benson, who gets money/incentives from the state for the Saints, has money of his own to fund a Tulane stadium?

I'm happy for Tulane. I hate what has happened to their football program.

Sorry, not in this thread per se. But whenever you see a successful tulane story/news there is usually a handful of lsu fans who dread hearing good news for another university in Louisiana not named LSU

The strictly Saints-related incentives ended with the Mercedes sponsorship fwiw.

Will the stadium be big enough for them to stay in the FBS?

He's a billionaire. He has a house. A yacht and even goes out to dinner occasionally. Imagine that.

Announced crowd of 15,000 to 20,000.

Actual people in the seats: 1000-2000.

This is an attempt to placate the NIMBY neighbors, whom I don't think are stupid enough to believe it. Posters on yogwf.com (Tulane sports forum) are already planning on reneging on that.

Superdome money doesn't go to Tom Benson. SMG probably wants Tulane to leave the Dome. I'd imagine a couple of concerts or trade shows, which could be booked during football season, might bring in more money than Tulane does for the Dome.
