Tulane University,a landlocked, open space-challenged campus in the heart of Uptown unique Orleans, and wanted to build a 30000-capacity football stadium on an exceptionally tight site – in fact,at the narrowest point on the campus. The unique $72 million Yulman Stadium nests itself into the heart of the Tulane’s athletics precinct. It provides a backdrop to a unique athletics quadrangle while connecting to the existing Hertz and Wilson Centers. Construction began in early 2013 and was completed in early 2015. The unique stadium marks the first time in 40 years that football is being played on Tulanes campus. It has become a catalyst for renewed interest in the Tulane football program, successfully bringing back a generation of lost fans.
