Tulane football lost a LOT when they left the on-campus stadium.....


They'll never recoup the investment in a stadium of their own - 15 to 18 thousand at the gate, at $35 tops, d*ck for TV money, they won't even pay the maintenance and game day crew.

WHY would they need to expand 30K seats?

They wouldn't fill East Jefferson's stadium.

He was the most butt-hurt one in a thread the other day. Said Rich Rod would win 4-5 games a year at Tulane. Pretty much everyone disagreed.

I suspect they will be more concerned about parking than lights at night. They don't have enough spaces for their baseball facility. Assuming this is true, not sure why Benson cares about Tulane (unless he just wants them out of the Dome) he went to Loyola. I see law suits being filed that will be pending long past 2013.

True. Tulane needs a stadium on campus but this will be a cluster. Hope they find a way for parking and do like the baseball field, where they make a big deal about fans coming out and then the city tickets everyone.

Knew that was coming, he denied it when Johnson initially reported they were trying to raise money for a stadium. About a month later Dickson pretty much confirmed what Johnson had said.

I got into GIS at work and compared the footprint of SMU's new 30-45k person stadium to the footprint available at Tulane. Tulane is about 1/3 the acreage short...They are going to have to triple deck this bitch.

Also, where the frick will people park? The Zoo and Fly with shuttles?

He is, but as I said previously on this subject he's probably right. If you know how Rick Dickson and Tulane athletics work they like to keep everything a secret as long as possible.
