In terms of full-time undergrads (e.g., your traditional students that lives on or near campus in residential housing), we are at about 6400. 4-5k isn't realistic game in, game out.
But 8500 total undergrad. And 13,400 total enrollment with grad school.
Looking at the
Yulman interactive seating chart, four sections (Section 126, 128-30) are reserved for students.
Only one section is reserved for visitors (Section 115)
Ballpark, each of those sections has about 1000 seats. So ~1000 for visitors and ~4000 for students.
In addition, there appear to be some seats reserved for player guests/recruits in Section 110/111.
Throw in tickets reserved for sponsors, etc. and there are probably ~7K tickets give or take that Tulane cannot sell on a season ticket basis.
That's actually quite low. Stated another way, Tulane will monetize a higher percentage of seats than other schools.
For example, Baylor can't sell 14,000 seats on a season ticket basis with their new 42,000 seat stadium. Texas Tech can't sell 22,000 seats on a season ticket basis in their 60,000 seat stadium.
