The New Orleans Saints and Tulane University share a rich history together. The Saints played at the former Tulane Stadium on the Uptown campus for their first eight years of their existence from 1967-74. When the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was constructed, Tulane played at the same facility again with the Saints from 1975-2005 and from 2006-13. Most recently, Tom and Gayle Benson supported Tulane's construction of on-campus Yulman Stadium, with the Green Wave making their debut on "Benson Field" in 2014.
