Where to Tailgate
Tailgating at Tulane revolves around Yulman Park, the green space adjacent to the stadium where fans set up tents, grills, and full spreads hours before kickoff.
🍺
Food & Drinks
Expect crawfish boils, jambalaya, po'boys, and plenty of local craft beer — this is New Orleans, after all.
⏰
Timing & Arrival
Gates to the tailgate area typically open four hours before kickoff, and arriving early is key to snagging prime real estate under the oak trees.

Parking Reality
Street parking fills fast, so use the university garage on Ben Weiner Drive or rideshare from nearby Magazine Street, where pregame brunches are a beloved tradition.
⚡
PRO TIP
Grab a pregame po'boy from Domilise's on Annunciation Street — it's a ten-minute drive and a New Orleans institution.
