Is Yulman Stadium not an Option? (1 Viewer)

[DerrickB]

Just curious as to why it wasn't considered.

It's still in Orleans Parish

They have to move outside the realm of her majesty.

But it's outside though and seats 30,000. Saints trying to put 20k or 25k in the seats right?

 

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Yes, it seats 30k, but if you have to dial it back to 25% (to accommodate social distancing), then you are looking at 7,500 fans in attendance. Parking is also a major issue uptown.

I have no particular opinion on the matter, but it seems like a waste of time to expect professional teams to endure the "limitations" of Yulman, compared to the Dome, even if "fanless."

Yulman is a great facility for Tulane, but not for the Saints and not for the NFL.

Oh, and it is still in Orleans Parish.

How about Delta Playground on West Metairie? Checks all the boxes...

so saints have a losing record if they go to tiger stadium because its 1:17 away from the dome. lmao! love to hear his reasoning.

I want to see this happen just to stick it to that lady.

Open the damn dome and let human beings choose if they want to be around people in Walmart, or be around fewer people in the Superdome. Stop acting like its about health and not about holding the city hostage for funding.

He is probably having flashbacks to 2005 when they didn't win any of their Tiger Stadium games.

As if we're anywhere close to being that particular team, or going through anything close to the same circumstances as that team.

 

[So_$@int Silly]

Real reasons right. Hello Mayor Cantrell

Tad Gormley is wholly unsuitable for an NfL game, but I love the nostalgia of an old-timey stadium like that.
