A Historic Week For Tulane Football

Tulane Director of Athletics Rick Dickson announced the appointment of New Orleans Saints receivers coach Curtis Johnson as the Green Wave's new head football coach.

Just days after hiring Coach Johnson, Tulane University has announced "Home Field Advantage," a $70 million fundraising campaign to build a new $60 million on-campus football stadium and provide $10 million in additional support for the Green Wave football program.

Tulane President Scott Cowen and members of the Board of Tulane have already raised $40 million in the private phase of a capital campaign and will begin the public phase for the balance of the support needed to build the proposed Tulane Community Stadium.

The new stadium will be located on Ben Weiner Road, between the Reily Student Recreation Center and the James W. Wilson Jr. Center -- less than a football field away from the original Tulane Stadium. The anticipated capacity is 30,000.
