re: Tulane to build on-campus stadium?

And Tulane says NO:

Tulane officials on Friday denied an online report that the school is planning to build a football stadium at its Uptown campus.

The rivals.com Tulane site, The Wave Report, reported Friday that the athletic department was taking “initial steps to start the process of building an on-campus football stadium” that would seat 20,000-30,000 fans and be positioned close to the Wilson Center. A proposal for this stadium was made by the athletic department to the Board of Trustees, according to the report.

But the university squashed the notion Friday, issuing a statement reading: “Tulane University has no plans to build a football facility. While the idea is appealing to many fans and members of the Tulane community, the university has consistently maintained that there must be sufficient funds in hand in order to construct a stadium. That is not the case at this time.”

Tulane should explore a joint venture with the city about a stadium in Audubon Park (maybe around the soccer fields next to "the fly") for Tulane games and HS games.

i hear that instead of turf they're just laying cardboard.....Tulane looks better on paper
