Sign of the time

On Dec. 18, 2005, the Tulane University women"s basketball team played its first game of the season in Avron B. Fogelman Arena in the Devlin Fieldhouse on the uptown campus. It was the first of any collegiate or professional competition in the city of New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina. To celebrate the return home, Green Wave Athletics invited every area resident to attend the game for free. Typically, a variety of refreshments is provided for reporters and photographers in the media room. Pictured, the department offered what was available at the time.
