    TULANE UNIVERSITY YULMAN STADIUM View of the main entry plaza at dusk. Photo credit: Tim Griffith | Higher resolution images available upon request Yulman Stadium at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana Tulane University, a landlocked, open space-challenged campus in the heart of Uptown New Orleans, wanted to build a 30,000-capacity football stadium on an exceptionally tight site – in fact, at the narrowest point on the campus. The new $72 million Yulman Stadium nests itself into the heart of the Tulane’s athletics precinct. It provides a backdrop to a new athletics quadrangle while connecting to the existing Hertz and Wilson Centers. Construction began in early 2013 and was completed in early 2015. Yulman Stadium’s LEED Silver certification was achieved by incorporating the following sustainable design strategies: • Glass is shaded from the powerful New Orleans sunlight by overhangs; • Several small existing structures were integrated into the stadium, including a locker room and team shop; • A rain garden incorporated into the entry plaza uses native grasses and cypress trees to absorb and detain stormwater; • No new parking was created and overall impervious paving on site (from previous use as tennis and track facilities) was reduced; • High-efficiency stadium lighting was used, and LED lighting incorporated throughout concourses. Occupancy sensors were incorporated throughout inte- rior spaces; • A building automation system ensures efficient use of HVAC and other building systems; • Operable windows were incorporated into the enclosed club; • The project received LEED ‘innovation in design’ credits for exemplary recycled content and exemplary use of locally-sourced building materials. Perhaps most significant for sustainability, the Tulane team moved from playing football in the Superdome – an overscaled, air-conditioned dome – to an open-air stadium.

Tulane at UCF was postponed until Nov 5th while the Charlotte at Florida Atlantic and Georgia at WISCONSIN South Carolina games were pushed back 1 day to Sunday October 9th. However, the LSU at Florida game was also postponed but no date has been set to play that one. The big question is when can the LSU-Florida game be played?

Feo D.Arch Project Committee: Clark Llewellyn, Chairperson Panos Prevedouros John Meyers Keywords: Aloha Stadium, Stadium Design, Football Stadium, NFL Stadium, College Stadium © 2015 Michael Louis Feo ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii To my parents, for providing inspiration and support, the building blocks to accomplish great things. iii Acknowledgements To the University of Hawai‘i’s School of Architecture’s faculty and staff, my sincerest gratitude for supporting me while I am pursuing an architecture degree. To my committee members for providing the guidance necessary to make this project applicable to the problems that are facing the citizens of the City and County of Honolulu. Their guidance was pivotal in providing solutions for the island of Oahu and state of Hawai‘i. To Clark Llewellyn and the Global Track staff for establishing and fostering the University’s relationship with Tongji University. I would not have developed a deep appreciation for the importance of stadium architecture, if not for the year spent at Tongji University, completing my master’s thesis iv Abstract The design of stadiums in the near future will focus on incorporating programming to make stadiums more functional for the urban communities they serve. Stadium scale, both in its physical size and radius of influence, makes the stadium an important urban entity that has an effect beyond the delineated space in which it is constructed.
