FAQ

What airport do I fly into for Yulman Stadium?

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) is the main airport, roughly 25 minutes from the venue by car in normal traffic. Expect longer on game days.

Which neighborhoods are best for a College Football game weekend in New Orleans?

Most visiting fans stay in Uptown, Garden District, French Quarter or Central Business District. Yulman Stadium sits on Tulane's Uptown campus at the end of the St. Charles streetcar line, so stay in the French Quarter or CBD and ride the streetcar to the game like the locals do.

When should I book a hotel for a game at Yulman Stadium?

Book now for any weekend you actually want. The full 2026 schedule is out, and the marquee home dates are the ones hotels reprice first. Grab a free-cancellation rate: if the price drops later you rebook, and if your plans change you cancel free. Waiting only ever helps you on the low-demand games.
