In Game
The Tulane Green Wave play in the quaint 4,100-seat Devlin Fieldhouse. The building’s small size creates an intimate feeling that you won’t find at too many other venues throughout Division I college hoops. The arena’s small size puts you on top of the action and gives attending a Tulane basketball game a unique feel.
Another aspect of the arena that makes a Tulane basketball game a pleasant and enjoyable experience is the fact Devlin Fieldhouse is the ninth oldest continuously operating basketball arena in the nation. You can feel the history the minute you step into the building, so enjoy knowing the fact you’re attending a game at a historic venue when watching the Green Wave play.
While Devlin Fieldhouse may only accommodate 4,100 fans, those in attendance are all loud in their support of the Green Wave. You won’t find any bandwagoners here who are content to sit on their hands, and no matter what the score Green Wave fans can be heard supporting their team.
Finally, New Orleans is a great city to visit, and there are tons of great dining options for before or after the game. Camellia Grill is a great place to grab a burger, and you’ll be able to get an alligator sausage hot dog at nearby Dat Dog.
A Green Wave game is a good time for anyone looking to experience an intimate college basketball venue and is an excellent way to for any college hoops fan to spend some time in the Big Easy.

The Olive and the Blue
Here’s a song for the Olive and the Blue
Here’s a cheer for the team that’s tried and true,
Here’s a pledge of loyalty to thee,
Oh, Tulane Varsity,
Here’s to the Greenbacks that never will say die
And here’s to the hearts that are true,
To the men of Tulane, who are fighting for her name
For the Olive and the Blue.(Chorus)
Roll, Green Wave, roll them down the field!
Hold, Green Wave, that line must never yield!
When those Greenbacks go charging thru the line,
They’re bound for Victory,
Hail Green Wave, for you we give a cheer.
Hail Green Wave, for you we have no fear,
So ev’ry man on ev’ry play,
And then we’ll win the game today,
Hurrah for Old Tulane. -
Alma Mater
We praise thee for thy past, O Alma Mater!
Thy hand hath done its work full faithfully.
The incense of thy spirit has ascended
And filled America from sea to sea!Olive Green and Blue! We love thee!
Pledge we now our fealty true
Where the trees are ever greenest,
Where the skies are purest blue.
Hear us now, O Tulane, hear us,
As we proudly sing to thee!
Take from us our hearts’ devotion,
Thine we are and thine shall be!
