Tulane Green Wave Football Program History

The Tulane Green Wave football program represents Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, and boasts a rich history dating back to 1893. Competing in the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the Green Wave are members of the American Athletic Conference (AAC). Their name, "Green Wave," is a nod to the school's location near the Mississippi River and the undulating nature of the water.

While the Green Wave haven't claimed a national championship in the modern era, they have a storied past, including several conference titles and appearances in major bowl games. They were once a dominant force in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), claiming three conference championships before departing in 1966.

Tulane plays its home games at Yulman Stadium, a modern facility located on the university's campus. The stadium's intimate atmosphere provides a distinct home-field advantage for the Green Wave. Throughout their history, Tulane has produced numerous NFL players, contributing to the professional ranks.

The Tulane Green Wave football program is more than just wins and losses. It's a symbol of tradition, pride, and the vibrant spirit of New Orleans. From their early successes to their current resurgence, the Green Wave continue to make their mark on the landscape of college football.
