I absolutely despise the Tulane addition, but at least they are building an on campus stadium. 10,000 in a 30,000 seat stadium has to look better than 70,000....Right....right?

Just whenever I start to get even a little but excited about the AAC I realize Tulane is in the league and I just get depressed.

I'm with you. the problem with this league is that there are some schools which you just don't anticipate will ever have much upside. Tulane seems to me to be what Providence would be if it had football, and an academic reputation of any sort. They are not going to invest in things. Their new on campus stadium is going to seat 30,000. Nothing says big time like a 30,000 seat stadium with zero expansion potential.

The idea that Tulane would need to expand a 30k stadium is actually pretty funny.
From 2008-2012 Tulane has averaged a turnstile count of 5,800.

2,119 for SMU in 2012. Tulane is an absolute joke. They make no sense in this league at all.

Where did you get those numbers? For FOOTBALL??? NCAA.org lists 18085, which I thought was awful.http://www.ncaa.org/wps/wcm/connect/public/NCAA/Resources/Stats/Football/Attendance/index.html if it was only 5800 they belong in the D3. And it begs the age old question, if Tulane played a football game and nobody saw it, did they really lose?

The NCAA publishes tickets distributed. The Superdome published turnstile counts.

Google tulane football attendance and it's the first link to thehullabaloo.com article from November 8th 2012.

Tulane draws 18k for football games in their wet dreams.

Its 18k, a season.
