Our AD is not culpable on this. If high school teams want to play at Y it is incumbent on them to so say and to begin the negotiation process. Not quite sure I haven't entered an alternate reality... Actually Pete happens to be wrong. Tulane turned down St Aug vs John Curtis earlier this season. Th...

Stop and think first. Who will do the hiring of a new head coach?

I don’t post here often. Usually check in a few times per week to read up on things. Also I try to stay out of the whole stadium, IPF, facilities discussion. Reason is I think everyone is correct. How is that? Because I think there is more than one way to build a football program. The order in whic...

How can you not see the positives? You'd have 15-20K prospective Tulane customers/fans attending the top HS games, more revenue, elite LOCAL recruits playing on YOUR field and TV exposure for Tulane/Yulman. First of all, I doubt that you would draw 20k or even 15k. Secondly, the vast majority of th...

Rummel vs Jesuit would outdraw Tulane vs UCONN. Our coaches want games played there. It builds relationships with other HS coaches and players. We all had a good laugh when I mentioned how Scott Cowen said it was going to be a community stadium. Ed and Ken starting laughing and said "and you be...

Got some answers. Called in to the "3 tailgaters show" 990am. Ed Daniels told me John Curtis and St Aug wanted to play at Yulman earlier in the year but the schools were rebuffed by Tulane with the reason given "parking issues". Last year ESPN broadcasted that game. " If Arn...

it's crazy to think you would spend close to $100million and use the facility 5-6 times a year Although it was not close to $100 million - That's one of the many reasons why I did not support the building of this particular stadium. If the idea is to make it special to play there, why would you wan...

The intrinsic value it could bring. I have read through all of this thread and I think you are severely overstating this "intrinsic value" to Tulane. Tulane wouldn't get much, if any, value from hosting this high school game. I'm going on the fact that Turchin had a great response to the ...

How much do you really think a sponsor is going to put up for a high school game??? TV is not an option either. Nobody is going to broadcast a high school game at 3:00PM on a Saturday. This. More like Tulane lying as usual. Just for your info FNBC sponsors many HS baseball games on TV. The are broa...

These arguments r absurd. Playing this game at a brand new nola stadium with a huge hd screen turns this into a city wide event. The marketing value is endless. Parents, fans and players would be so excited. People who have never been in the tu bubble would b exposed to the beautiful campus. Hell, ...

It's an option. Getting off track. The bottom line is we are never going to have high school games at Yulman. We w...

The cost can simply be offset by a sponsor such as FNBC, Cox, or All State etc. This is done for HS games at the dome. The bottom line is that Tulane has spent close to $100 million on a facility that can only be used 6-7 times a year. What a disgrace for a so called "community" stadium.

You have to remember that the schools want to make money too. So they will want a share of the concessions ,parking,et al. When you throw in the cost of the shuttle, police, sanitation it probably reaches a point where the schools aren't interested. Yenni holds only 5-7K The schools make most of th...

Yes. That's probably going to limit him in some ways. If offered I wonder if he'd take it.

Tulane should be leveraging Yulman as much as possible. Anyone who attends a Jesuit or Rummel or BM game at Yulman is a prospective customer/fan for Tulane. Security and concession workers aren't that expensive. And the Catholic schools could share in that cost. This is about not wanting to irritat...

It's being reported that Mack has had preliminary talks with SMU and they're talking in the $4 million per year for 8 years range. Wouldn't surprise me at all if Mack gets introduced there before the end of November so he can get started on recruiting and building his staff. I'd bet Greg Davis Sr. ...

Scott is being lied to. How could we lose money if there are 10-15k people at the games. Yes we'd lose money on Cohen vs Carver. It's total BS Jesuit vs Rummel is cost prohibited. It's a typical BS line Tulane is using. That would be not much less than what we now really draw.

Per Scott Kushner, Tulane "agreement" with the city council makes hosting HS games cost prohibitive. So apparently we can't afford to host these games. :roll: Wow. That's disgusting. What a shame. The city high schools are short stadiums. This needs to be addressed. Wow four NIMBY's rule ...

Tulane should be proactive and seek to right this oversight come playoff time. Thanks to the split, all Catholic league teams plus St. Paul's, Catholic-BR, John Curtis, and Evangel will be in the same play-off bracket. Tulane is out of town the weekend of the division's quarterfinal round and plays...

TPS all wrong on this. To be successful we must emulate success. Tulane Gym is obsolete. Hopefully it will be the next New Orleans 'landmark' to fall down, forcing our hand to rebuild properly or move games to Smoothie King. Smoothie King was built for Tulane. Let's use it. Tulane gym was obsolete....
