Yulman Stadium Seating Chart
The on-campus football home of the Tulane Green Wave, opened in 2014 on the site of the old Tulane Stadium uptown New Orleans. The compact stadium returned Tulane football to campus after years at the Superdome, with a single grandstand bowl and an open end that frames the surrounding neighborhood.
Sections at Yulman Stadium
Yulman Stadium's seating bowl is organized into the following main sections. Section layout differs by event — a sports configuration and a concert configuration of the same arena are not the same chart.
- Lower West sideline — home-side seats closest to the field
- Lower East sideline — visitor-side lower seating
- End zone — seats behind the open end
- Upper West — second tier on the home sideline
- Club and suites — premium seating on the west side
- Berm and standing areas — casual spots near the ends
Best seats at Yulman Stadium
Lower West sideline sections near midfield give the best straight-on view from the home side with afternoon shade later in the day. For atmosphere, the student end zone is loud and close to the action.
Tips before you go
Uptown campus parking is limited on game days, so the St. Charles streetcar is a classic and easy way in. New Orleans heat lingers into fall, so the west-side seats that fall into shade as the sun drops are the comfortable pick.
How to read the Yulman Stadium seating chart
Yulman Stadium seats 30,000 around a field, so reading the chart starts at midfield and works outward and upward. The lower bowl (the 100 level) rings the field closest to the action; the club and suite level sits in the middle; the upper deck climbs steeply above for the widest view. Sideline sections face the field square on and command a premium, while end-zone and corner sections cost less for a more angled look.
Three things decide a Yulman Stadium seat: how close you are to the field, whether you sit on a sideline or in an end zone, and how high you are. For a stadium this size, the value sweet spot is usually the first few rows of the upper sideline at center — close enough to read the play, cheap enough to justify, and high enough for the full picture. Cross-check the official Yulman Stadium map against your ticket's section, row, and seat before you buy, because a seat that is perfect for a concert can sit behind the stage for a game.
