who remembers the song written about this game. I used to have the record and can't find a recording anywhere. It happened on December first of one nine seven three... lets all drink a toast to the foley boys and good ole charlie hall....
Tulane's final game on campus came 364 days later, a 26-10 loss to Ole Miss on a miserably cold afternoon November 30, 1974. One month later, Nebraska won the final college game in the stadium, defeating Florida 13-10 in the Sugar Bowl on December 31. January 12, 1975 was the last pro game there SuperBowl you mentioned. There was a High School game played after that. The last game played in the stadium was a game between New Orleans Catholic League rivals De La Salle High School, located less than two miles (3 km) from the Tulane campus, and Archbishop Rummel High School on November 1, 1979. The last point scored in Tulane Stadium History was by Rummel High place kicker Gary Boudreaux.😊
86000 in an 81000 seat stadium, was there at age ten, followed the wave that year led by Steve Foley, LSU would not exceed a higher home game attendance until 2000.
To this day the biggest crowd ever to watch a football game in the city of New Orleans. Saints games Sugar Bowls and Super Bowls included.
Dec. 1, 1973. 50 years today.
Good sometimes triumphs over evil. The greatest college game I have ever attended!!

3:20 guy in the white shirt gives some fan a forearm shiver!
I thought the Super bowl between the Vikings and Steelers was the last game there.

OH MY GOD- guy decks a girl at 3:19. Brutal!
Those were the days!I was there for this one and the one in the Dome that followed.
Good defense ruled and was a given back in the day also.
Actually,Tulane played Houston in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl. LSU played Penn St. in the Orange Bowl. Both lost.
Funny to see NO security compared to nowadays...
The country was mostly European and Christian then so there was no need for that.
Bert Jones was not on this team.... 1972 was his last year

Wasn't this LSU team lead by Bert Jones and headed to ther Orange Bowl?
Bert Jones was in Baltimore at this time.
Must have been an LSU fan
No one asked you to sit down at this game.
Im sure they enjoyed it, not often THAT happens lol
This LSU team lost 31-24 to Tennessee in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl.
No this LSU team lost to Penn State in the Orange Bowl.
Wrong year. That was in 1972. This game was in 1973 and it was Tulane that lost the Bluebonnet Bowl to Houston exactly 4 weeks later.
