The Saturday morning game between the Army Black Knights and Tulane’s Green Wave was held at Yulman Stadium in New Orleans, Louisiana. Both teams were hoping to recover from losing the previous weekend to more talented teams. In the end, predictions placing Tulane on top proved to be correct when the Green wave beat out the Black Nights 21-17.
The game was close and Army held the lead for most of the second, third, and fourth quarter. In the last 30 seconds, Tulane scored a touchdown that put them at a four-point lead over the Black Nights. With such a small amount of time left on the clock, Army did not have time to recover.
Yulman Stadium had its grand opening in 2014 with a home opener for Tulane against former rival Georgia Tech. The game sold out all 30,000 seats. Previous to the opening of Yulman, Tulane shared a home stadium with the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. When choosing the new synthetic turf surface for Yulman, Tulane chose to keep the same trusted surface that was used installed in the Superdome. This line of artificial grass is used by collegiate and professional teams across the country and has hosted teams for several Super Bowls. Act Global is proud to produce such a tested and respected line of synthetic turf systems.
