TULANE – YULMAN STADIUM

Tulane’s beautiful campus sets the scene for a fantastic gameday experience. The oak trees that shade these tradition-rich grounds add a southern flair to its Louisiana style architecture.

Usually, Cougar games take place at night, but this time, the television schedule would not allow for a sun strokeless event. Rather, Houston fans were forced to fry as they watched the third string quarterback, Terrance Broadway, take charge of the offense.
