Tulane Stadium was the site of three early Super Bowls — and it also harboured a rather shocking secret.A decade after the Kansas City Chiefs won the fourth iteration of the big game in 1970, and the glory that followed for the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl VI and IX, the historic building was demolished.Tulane Stadium hosted three of the first 10 Super Bowl games in the 1970sGettyIt had stood since 1926 on the site of Tulane University, and served primarily as the home of Green Wave football games.The stadium also hosted the Sugar Bowl from 1935 to 1974, and the New Orleans Saints played there for seven years between 1967 and 1974 while the now-iconic Superdome — which is at threat of unexpected relocation reports — was under construction.Around 80,000 fans packed into the venue to watch the biggest games unfold, and a record attendance was set on December 1, 1973, when 86,598 watched Tulane defeat in-state rival LSU 14–0.The win snapped a 25-year losing streak for the Green Wave against the Bayou Bengals, and was one of the most memorable games ever played at the site.Green Wave fans screamed for the better part of an hour after the historic win.As many as 80,562, 81,023 and 80,997 spectators later packed in to watch Super Bowl IV, VI and IX respectively.But those figures don’t take into account two more ‘fans’ that were discovered buried under the bleachers.Ancient Egyptian mummies stored under Tulane Stadium for decadesWhen storage areas underneath the stadium seating were being emptied prior to demolition in 1980, various neglected university possessions were rediscovered, including an Ancient Egyptian mummy couple.Locked in a tiny room below the bleachers, Got Thothi Aunk and Nefer Atethu languished in a dark corner of Tulane Stadium.According to a 1999 article from the Tulanian, the pair had been part of the university’s collection since its early days in the 1850s.Two Egyptian mummies were discovered under the bleachers at Tulane StadiumGettyJust how they ended up under the stands, apparently, is a tale of ‘grave-robbing globe-trotters, misguided racial theorists and, ultimately, university officials with too little exhibit space to house their considerable treasures’.“They attended every Tulane home game from 1955 until the last Wave appearance in Tulane Stadium in 1974,” the Tulanian declared.“They were present at all three Super Bowls and dozens of New Orleans Saints games waged on Tulane turf.“And they never once complained about their lousy seats.”The two mummies were said to have been housed in multiple campus museums after arriving in Louisiana, and were eventually placed in Tulane’s math department.But in the 1950s, the department moved, and there was no place for the ancient couple — and that’s when they were shoved in a dark room underneath the bleachers at Tulane Stadium.Tulane Stadium hosted memorable college and NFL game for decadesGettyIt was condemned in the 1970s after the Superdome was constructedGETTYThe ancient history stored underneath the building is fascinating enough alone, and some of the games that unfolded on the turf were also unforgettable.What sporting history was made at Tulane Stadium?As well as a big win against LSU in 1973, the Saints also played their first-ever game on the site in 1967.What was perhaps the most memorable play in the stadium’s history came in 1970, when Tom Dempsey kicked a 63-yard field goal for the NFL franchise.His effort in the closing seconds secured New Orleans a 19-17 win against the Detroit Lions, and it was one of only two games the Saints won that year.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?Dempsey’s 63-yard record would stand alone for 28 years. Jacksonville Jaguars star Cam Little kicked a 68-yard field goal just weeks ago, and now holds the record. He also converted from 70 yards in preseason.The Super Bowls that were played at Tulane Stadium were also iconic.Len Dawson led the Chiefs to an upset over the Vikings in 1970, while two years later, Tom Landry’s Cowboys beat the Dolphins in a game that featured the first Super Bowl logo painted at midfield.The Steelers then won their first of six Super Bowls in 1975. But in August of that year, the Superdome opened, and Tulane Stadium was condemned one day later.Landry led the Cowboys to Super Bowl VI glory at Tulane StadiumGettyOne last game was played in the building prior to its demolition, between New Orleans Catholic League teams Chalmette High School and Jesuit High School on November 3, 1979.The stadium was then cleared to make way for new university buildings. The Green Wave now play at Yulman Stadium, while the Saints have called the Superdome home for the last 50 years.Hopefully, there are no mummies buried under the turf there.Stay up to date with the latest from the NFL across all platforms – follow our dedicated talkSPORT USA Facebook page and subscribe to our talkSPORT USA YouTube channel for all the news, exclusives, interviews and more.
