Doing 2 for 1's with BOTH Duke and Wake is messed up.

The Wake Forest series is a 2 for 2 and NOT a 2 for 1. The first game was played in New Orleans on 09-09-95 which Tulane actually won 35-9. The other 3 games of the series have been pushed back several times.

On actual Yulman SEATS, too.

We are waiting to hear from you. We don't bite. Talk to Tulane students, alumni, fans, FUTURE fans and anyone who will listen. It is really quite easy.

TU will NOT be playing ND in their new home (at least with the current seating capacity). Only way we get to play them in NO is in the SD. And I believe that the Rebs moved their games to the last two in the 2-fof-2 is so that they would get both of their games in the SD instead of in Yulman. But at least you've got to give them credit here. They still played their 2 "away" games with us as opposed to trying to get out of them, like some other school we're all so familiar with.

Tulane has the strongest OOC schedule (except perhaps for ECU) of any AAC team. (Strong enough that an unlucky Tulane could throw an 0-fer and then could overcome the bad start and make a bowl game by winning six AAC games.) All done with Yulman. I expect it will continue.

It would be great to have Ole Miss and MSU visit regularly. I don't think ticket allotment will mean that much to them. (Just my opinion.) They each visit BR every other year to see an often Top 10 team and most travelers from there spend Friday night in N.O. and a lot of them spend Saturday night as well here. They try to limit their stay in BR to tailgating and the game itself.

Again as noted above, if and when called for, Tulane can and will use the SD.

Finally Army is a great opponent for Tulane (even if it has owned us.) It beats by miles playing an FCS school annually.

Maybe Tulane doesn't need them anymore for NE exposure with regular road games against Navy, Temple or UConn but those who have been to West Point will tell you it's one of the great venues of college football, a lot of fun and an easy road trip from NYC. Not quite as small as Yulman but you are on top of the action. If and when Yulman expands it will seem very much like Michie.

Ticket allotments are huge to them. They are not coming to Yulman.

Army is poor scheduling. Our fans have no interest in them. We are not going to build the program fans want scheduling like that. Scheduling them resigns you to being a Boutique program.

So many Tulane fans refuse to see the plain ugly truth. We're scheduling Army and Rice for a reason.

Also, Cowen is on the record as saying expandable to 30K, period.

LOL. Tulane (under current leadership) will never intentionally schedule a game at the Dome. It's not financially feasible. People keep repeating this but it's a blatant lie. Tulane would rather cancel a 2-for-2 with a beatable private P5 than play a single game in the Dome, and we know this to be factually true.

And that's why Dickson is working on scheduling Rice and Army.

Other than LSU (and probably USM in the old days), TU travels better to Army than any other opponent that includes road games at Ole Miss, MSU and similar nearby schools. That's a fact not speculation as to whether Army "appeals" to Tulane fans. It's a loose analogy but TV ratings seems to indicate similar interest.

No doubt N.O. is an SEC market but disagree on appeal of Army. National TV ratings for Army-Navy are about the same as average ESPN ratings for college football in N.O. (4.2 to 4.3) Couldn't find ratings quickly specifically for the game in N.O. market. If I recall the Army-Navy game goes up now against FBS and Div II and III playoff games. SEC season is over. So I guess New Orleanians watch Army at least once a year at rate the rest of the country does. If you know better, fire away.

Again you should go to West Point game whenever you have the chance. You would enjoy it. Yes I believe Yulman will generate a similar experience for Tulane fans which the Superdome has not provided for Tulane for decades.

Meanwhile if the carrot is big enough Tulane will use the SD the same way your local school in Berkeley with a 62,000 capacity stadium that it just spent hundreds of millions of dollars renovating is playing a game in Levi's stadium (billion dollar plus cost) with a capacity 69,000 or so.

My guess it would take a crowd of 50k plus to justify (so LSU, UA, UT or ND.) I don't see Ole Miss for example drawing that many or even Auburn or one of the Florida schools. They didn't when Tulane was playing and drawing well in the Dome or even old Tulane stadium. (The crowd for the Ole Miss game in 1979 which had a great atmosphere and Tulane was ranked and was played in November was about 47,000 or so.)

If you want to see what Tulane would draw in the SD even if it were in the SEC, look at Miami's attendance even with a ton of national championships. Play UF, FSU or ND, you draw great to your home games in an NFL stadium. After that your base crowd is 30,000 to 40,000 on a good evening.

Yes I wish Yulman sat 35,000 but that is it. The Saints and the Sugar Bowl and LSU drew 70,000+ in old Tulane stadium and the SD not Tulane. That's a simple fact and Cowen and crew finally recognized it and did something about it. What do you care what Yulman sits or stands? You're not going anyway.
