WOW!!! That's awesome.

We drew more fans in baseball in 1981 than Tulane does in football now!

Definitely this one before they added the video board and clock and moved it over a bit

Anyone know when the wall was built??

And it sure looks like we had plenty of space to grow. I wonder what happened to cause us to be so land-locked in just 30 years.

This is why I hoped UL would keep the Horse Farm.

You can't predict future situations based on current needs.

Completely agree. I think it was a very short sighted move but there was political motivations for it to happen.

If you going to give away the horse farm then UL/T-Joe should have held out for Girard Park. (Yea, I know about the stipulations in the original land donation).

Anyone have any updates on the Lourdes properties?
