Always the Audacious
Athletics
Tulane has a rich culture of pioneering research, transformative teaching and vibrant academics. Increasingly, our athletics culture is thriving alongside these longstanding elements, with talented student-athletes and forward-thinking coaches coming together to achieve excellence in all 17 of our varsity sports.
Our successes offer a model for a bright future — but it is a future that can only be unlocked if we empower our coaches and student-athletes to reach their full potential here at Tulane. To do so, we must build the infrastructure today to support them well into tomorrow.
We are confident about the future of Tulane Athletics. The people are in place, but to keep our great coaches and staff who are vital to our success, we must invest in the infrastructure that will allow them to win. We invite you to join us on the winning team.
GIVING PRIORITIES
MULTIPURPOSE INDOOR PRACTICE FACILITY
Athletics leadership identified having a multipurpose indoor practice facility on campus as a pressing need for Tulane Athletics.
With no existing facility on campus, the Green Wave teams must practice off-site or indoors when inclement weather is expected. With limited space currently available, the new facilities would maximize practice time by eliminating travel time and reduce funds needed for outside facility use.
The indoor facility would also be an asset to the wider Tulane community, available to Tulane Campus Recreation for club and intramural sports when not in use by athletics.
SPORTS PERFORMANCE CENTER
Collegiate student-athletes are elite athletes, performing at the top of their game for their team and for the university community. Their achievements are inspiring and must be matched by sports medicine, strength and conditioning and locker room space that supports top-level performance through the best care possible. There is no greater act of Green Wave pride than honoring our student-athletes by committing to their health, safety and well-being.
The new Sports Performance Center will include state-of-the-art athletic training facilities that will enhance student-athlete care through injury prevention and recovery; utilize the latest equipment to provide the best medical care possible; offer cutting-edge aquatic therapies for recuperation and rehabilitation; and include advanced sports science technologies.
SUSTAINING FIRST-CLASS FACILITIES
As Tulane Athletics continues to grow, investments in maintaining and growing our current facilities are paramount. For example, Yulman Stadium is a center of so much Green Wave pride. When we welcomed Green Wave football back uptown after 39 seasons, it was a source of celebration for all.
An achievement of this level must not be a zenith that is reached and then allowed to diminish. We seek to update Yulman Stadium and our other facilities in meaningful ways. Initiatives for Yulman Stadium would include updating lighting to be in compliance with new television requirements; replacing the scoreboard, which has reached the end of its projected 10-year lifespan; replacing and enhancing the current sound system for the enjoyment of all fans; and enhancing premium seating options to maintain revenue streams each year.
