这是由Gould Evans设计的杜兰大学Yulman体育场。杜兰大学位于新奥尔良市的中心地带，游泳一个开放的校园空间。因此学校想在这里建设一个能容纳3万人的足球场，这位位置也是校园内最窄的地方。这个体育场是是四边形的，同时连接到现有的Hertz and Wilson中心。

于2013年初开始，并于2015年初结束。这意味着40年来，杜兰大学第一次拥有了自己的足球场。这就像是一剂催化剂，激发了人们对足球的热情，让一些曾经喜爱足球的人重新回到球场。

这个新建的体育场拥有60000个座位，比之前的30000人体育场还多一倍，为人们提供了一个更加好的环境来支持自己喜欢的球队。设计从一开始，设计团队就以“杜兰体育场，新奥尔良体育场”的理念进行构思。新球场的装饰，都沿袭了历史和传统，同时结合了现代化。考虑到空间限制、周边工厂环境以及居民对球场噪音和光污染的忧虑，建筑师最大限度地减少了球场的规模，四面适当降低高度，以减少光污染和噪音。

From the architect. 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. The new stadium marks the first time in 40 years that football is being played on Tulane’s campus. It has become a catalyst for renewed interest in the Tulane football program, successfully bringing back a generation of lost fans.

Tulane’s alumni base is spread internationally. Each year thousands of former students and friends return to New Orleans and the school as casual visitors or participants in specific university activities. Athletic competitions, football games in particular, become great catalysts for this reconnection. Since the previous stadium was demolished in 1974, Tulane’s football team had played off-campus in the Superdome, a facility overscaled for the needs of a college football team and ill-suited to reinforcing team spirit. Moving from the 60,000-seat Superdome to the 30,000-seat Yulman Stadium gives Green Wave fans a more intimate environment to cheer on their team while also allowing for a tailgating experience. From the outset of the design process, the design team held true an underlying mantra, “Only at Tulane. Only in New Orleans.” The new stadium celebrates Tulane’s decorated athletic history and traditions using a modern architectural vocabulary that marries old and new.

The university and architects Gould Evans faced considerable challenges in placing the new building onto its site, not only because of the restricted space, but also because of concerns by the Audubon Boulevard and Calhoun Street corridors immediately adjacent to the facility. These neighbors led an effort to blockade development of the stadium, citing anticipated noise, light-pollution and scale of the stadium as potential pitfalls. The architects responded with a design that minimizes its visual and physical impact through clever manipulation – each of the stadium’s four sides responds to its immediate context, scaling up or down as appropriate. Sensitivity to contextual conditions also influenced design decisions relative to architectural massing and material expression. By keeping the seating bowl low along the west, and through the use of materials that closely relate to the residential nature of the area along with planting and screening elements, Gould Evans was able to integrate the stadium within the historic, low-scale fabric of the Uptown Residential District.
