re: Old Tulane Stadium Recreation Project

Good call.. scale is pretty large to match

Pretty sure A, B, C, D and E were all concessions. Coke sales, coke seller tray refilling, hot dogs and burgers, beer sales and beer backpack refilling. Can't say which was where though.

Here are some images you may be able to use:

Cool vintage stuff.. ill see where i can add it.. thanks for the images

Make that the October update...

Locker room v2 and nfl locker room coming soon
New vendor shacks and restroom external shacks also coming

The jazz band for Saints games were staged with a cover over it on the east side by the north end zone exit.

It mentions in the video that the cannon incident happened during a Super Bowl but I was at the game. It was a Rams game, I believe, during the regular season.

Thanks. I had heard it was during the battle of new orleans.. i appeciate the info.

Definitely not. If it had, we'd hear about it every time we hosted another SB.

I was at that game. It happened in the SW corner in the end zone. The cannon team was from the Battle of NO reinactment team in Chalmette. I don't remember the opponent.

They always talk about the guy who lost his hand as he tamped down the powder, but the tamping rod traveled all the way accross the field and injured some people in the NE section of the stadium too.

From the NY Times:

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1 (UPI)—Four persons were injured today when an an tique, muzzle-loading cannon discharged prematurely dur ing a football half-time show. The show, during the New Orleans Saints-Los Angeles Rams football game, featured a re-creation of the Battle of New Orleans.

Leslie Germain, 24 years old, and David Widdecombe, 22, both of Memphis, were loading one of the antique cannons when it went off. The two are members of the Chalmette National Park Cannoneers.

Germain was bleeding about the face and neck and smoke was still coming from his jacket when attendants moved him off the field on a stretcher. Widdecombe ran off the field bleeding. Fingers were missing.

Two fans were struck when the ramrod used in loading the canon sailed into the Tulane Stadium stands. One was taken to a hospital and the other received emergency treatment at a Red Cross first aid station.

The biggest mishap I remember at the SB was one of 2 hot air ballons (one for each team) launched pregame didn't lift quickly enough and ran into the stands. Also the NE corner. It was the Vikings balloon.

Then of course, the 45 minute blackout at the Superdome.
