21 Stadiums Across America You Didn't Know Were This Young

9. Benson Field at Yulman Stadium (2014) – Tulane University

When Tulane moved out of the Superdome and onto campus in 2014, it didn’t just change locations—it rekindled the soul of Green Wave football. Yulman Stadium brought the energy back to New Orleans' Uptown district with a 30,000-seat venue that feels tailor-made for the city’s unique culture. Benson Field isn’t about massive scale; it’s about atmosphere, intimacy, and charm. Game days here are flavored with second-line brass bands, New Orleans cuisine, and Southern hospitality that feels more like a neighborhood party than a national spectacle. Yulman’s design includes premium suites, club-level seating, and tech-integrated fan zones, yet it never strays from its sense of place. With live oak trees framing the tailgate areas and design cues borrowed from the French Quarter, the stadium celebrates its surroundings while delivering a top-tier game-day experience. It’s a modern stadium that doesn’t feel corporate—just uniquely Tulane, and uniquely New Orleans.
