Tulane Athletics is clearly landlocked. Should the University make the Claiborne Lot available to Athletics and their much needed facilities?

It depends on what they are planning to do there. Does anyone know what the plan is?

Not really sure, but in the interview with Kaare, Troy made it sound like it wasn't available at all to academics. Make sure to vote in our Twitter poll tool. Interview linked below again as well.anEngineer wrote: βThu Jan 05, 2023 9:53 am It depends on what they are planning to do there. Does anyone know what the plan is?

If the Bored, yes I know what term I used, does not turn that property over to the athletics for an IPF, or a "performance center" of some type, then ya know where Tulane is headedNOLABigSteve wrote: βThu Jan 05, 2023 9:49 am Tulane Athletics is clearly landlocked.

People that are smarter than me.....could they build an underground garage on that land?
Washu recently had a similar project building on some of their parking lots. They built 800 parking spots underneath.
In my time at Tulane, the campus was choked off by Audobon and Claiborne. Everything was very much focused toward St. Charles. This could be a great opportunity to heal the grid and connect campus with Claiborne/Fontainebleau.

The only reasonable use of the Claiborne Lot, other than for athletics, would be to build a multi-story parking lot that would serve both athletics and general parking needs. The biggest issue is Turchin. Every game I've ever been to at Turchin the Tulane fans appear to largely be older fans and definitely not many students. I just don't see the need for Turchin to be on campus. With the Turchin space, we could construct all the football facilities we need, and maybe squeeze in a new multi-purpose basketball arena. It would cost a lot to move Turchin, but its current location is a major obstacle--all because it was built with no apparent long-term strategy or plan for efficient use of our limited space.NOLABigSteve wrote: βThu Jan 05, 2023 9:57 amNot really sure, but in the interview with Kaare, Troy made it sound like it wasn't available at all to academics.

Difficult to respond to this poll without knowing what use the university intends for the property. If it is a vital and necessary part of a strategic academic-needs expansion thatβs one thing. If its going to be a library devoted to Scott Cowenβs personal papers thatβs another.
As isolated as the property is from the other academic infrastructure, itβs hard to believe that it is a necessary part of that sort of expansion.

move Turchin to the property at the Orleans (Claiborne ave) - Jeff Parish (Jefferson Hwy) line... the majority of the stadium can be unbolted and re assembled at that site...as U state most attendees are not students, but those living in the "burbs " or across the lakeHoustonWave wrote: βThu Jan 05, 2023 10:06 amThe only reasonable use of the Claiborne Lot, other than for athletics, would be to build a multi-story parking lot that would serve both athletics and general parking needs.

Back in the day Athletics controlled all the land North of Willow Street. Later academics took all the land where Tulane Stadium once stood. Built dorms, TISM, parking garage, the Reily Center and Brown field.
The Claiborne lot was the Rosen House which housed married couples on campus. I thought that was traded back to Athletics for all the land Academics took.

How about tearing Diboll Garage down and building a taller larger one on Claiborne where Rosen Lot is. Would Diboll location be a better athletic facility???
The Claiborne lot is in a different zip code from any academic activity at Tulane University.....I wonder what the "grande plan" is

Dannen has said repeatedly that Turchin is untouchable. Unfortunately, that has to change. If we're going to be a "football school" baseball needs to be an afterthought. Sorry, but that's what baseball is at "football schools", even those that dominate baseball like our friends up the river. They should move it to the location golfnut mentioned above. Is the old "uptown square" site still dormant?
An underground garage would be difficult given the fact that the city is below sea level and would be a nightmare during storms. I don't know that it's impossible but highly improbable. I want to see a significant announcement, like adding the upper deck on the west side of Yulman, or moving Turchin for an IPF. Or an IPF with a huge garage on top! Make a statement that we're all in for a P5 invite. Make a commitment to play the facilities upgrade game. Do SOMETHING!
This hit me today. We will forever be 1-0 in the 2023 Cotton Bowl. I hope they put 1-0 on their Cotton Bowl/G5 Championship rings.
And let's take the goddammed NY6 bid 2 years in a row.
ROLL WAVE!
