re: Old Tulane Stadium Recreation Project

Good insight. The one they showed on the video looked red and half was gone.. so not a saints flag. i have seen the super bowl 9 flags on that vid.. maybe ill just make saints one based on steelers and vikings they had

you recall anything they changed or updated for super bowl 9 i can use in the model?

Wasnt a game for the ages unless you like defense or the Steelers

THANKS, Thats awesome, do you have any old stadium vintage stuff? Seats, pennants umbrellas, etc?

You can watch the movie for free on the link below.

Tubi Link to Number One

I scrolled to the end to watch the ending... well, that was an ending.

At about 1:40:20, as the camera sweeps the stands, you can see a Jax beer backpack and then a popcorn vendor.

And at 1:42:45, at the top center of the frame, there's a soft drink vendor in the crowd. Another one at 1:42:10.

At 1:43:12, there's a hotdog vendor in the aisle.

As the credits roll, there's very a clear sequence of the flags at the top of the stadium and they look good! Tapered with a notch at the end.

Thanks for all the info.. i checked it out.. love those old striped cups. Is the popcorn guy the one with the big cardboard box? I found the jax beer guys and hot dog guy. Ill see if i can add him.. great detail if the box 35 cents.. good times.

Thanks for the help. Let me know if you see anythng else in there.

Ill take a shot at modeling something tonight based on what you said and ill post.. we can see how close we get. This will be fun.

thanks again

Yes.. thats an awesome shot.. From that I can piece together some clearer flags. Thanks.

Since you are looking at the video.. Maybe you can clarify some things I have tried to figure out...

Did you see what I meant about the North Stands at 1:29:48?. It looks like behind the vendors its dark with grass and dirt.. did they fence that part off or were there paved paths under.

My guess is the restrooms are further under there in a cinder block building.

At 1:30:37 you can see the Dixie Beer house and the Freys vendor as well. Were these typical of the vending shacks? I have seen them in a Super Bowl IX video as well.

I see a fence in front of the ramp but I have yet to figure out how the fences were set up in there and how they routed people through it to the upper ramps.

Also heres a question I wrestled with.. on the night time shot you can see the sign that shows the North gate ramp. But its at a werid angle and not over the ramp. Is that moved for the movie? I put it perpendicular to the ramp so you would see it.

At the 1:28:19 point they go under the metal "gate" if you look at current google maps streetview those gates are all still preserved at the end of each street off Calhoun.. they are behind a fence but they are STILL there.

Anyway thanks again.. Fun to have someone else try to parse this movie out with.

Yep.. This will help get the dimensions scaled right. I figure the popcorn boxes to be typical scale

Also.. on the movie at 12:29.. it is DARK. was this the normal?

I think that's a night shot.

I'm not sure what that rack was for.

On the same scene.. right in front of the ramp you can make out the sign that is parallel to the ramp. i can't make out words clearly but I think i determined they said entrance to north grandstand and the letters of the sections.

I think that's right.
