Coming from a Tampa guy, the Superdome is absolutely perfect for the city of New Orleans & it should never be demolished. Opposing teams third downs are the loudest Iv heard of any stadium in the league. Added in with the lack of natural light & it is in my opinion, the most unique stadium experience in the league.

The location of the Superdome in the heart of downtown is why it’s a great host for events like the Super Bowl. Hotels, Bars(Bourbon Street)and Restaurants are walking distance and airport is only 20 minutes away. I can see it hosting many more Super Bowls. The smoothie king center is not in disrepair but I am a fan of the possibility of a fan district. There is will and abandoned mall next to the dome which can be turned into a district that both stadiums can use.

18 year Saints Season ticket holder here. The Superdome has undergone nearly $1 billion worth of renovations since Hurricane Katrina. In the late 1990's, I used to go to games as a kid, and even had the chance to play football in the superdome in middle school. Back then the stadium was definitely aging and tired. I cannot emphasize how much this building has changed over the last 20 years. This recent renovation completely changed the look and feel of the interior of the stadium. The interior concourses were doubled in width. They added fake lighting in the escalator lobbies that mimics sunlight. The bathrooms are all brand new, even on the upper "terrace" level where I sit. The food vendors are all new, including a new, giant "back of house" area for cooking. This renovation puts the Superdome on par with ANY other stadium in the league. It has state of the art Wifi and sound equipment. It isn't as shiny as LA or Vegas, but it is just as useful and the fan experience proves it. The saints are ranked 2nd in the NFL for "Family Fun", and 8th for "Atmosphere". The superdome is easy to get in and out of, and it's location makes it easy to get to other parts of the city. New Orleans has hosted more superbowls than any other city except for Miami (tied). I guarantee they will continue to be awarded Superbowls in the future. The only reason we can't bid on some Superbowls is due to the proximity to Mardi Gras in some years.

@@rickbrenner6079 The Superdome used to be able to accommodate baseball. However, when baseball was played there, fans sitting in the upper deck couldn't see the first base side of the infield. The Minor League Pelicans played an entire season there (1977). The Pirates and Athletics tested the Superdome, and even considered moving there. A few other MLB and college teams tried it out. Apparently, they found the Superdome unsatisfactory. MLB never took this place seriously. New Orleans was never a front-runner for an expansion team. When the Superdome was repaired after Hurricane Katrina, the retractable seats were replaced with permanent seats. The Superdome can no longer accommodate baseball...not that it was all that great to begin with. New Orleans was never into baseball, anyway.

Two domes I have seen NFL football in are the Superdome (a long time ago) and Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis more recently. The Superdome was designed well and has good views from everywhere. Lucas Oil is too cavernous. We had seats way up, and the players looked like little ants. Yes, keep the Superdome because New Orleans is a good Super Bowl site and the weather in southern LA gets dicey in late Jan and Feb. At the game we saw at the Superdome, we sat in front of a group of guys from New York who came there to see the Giants. He said it was easier to get tickets to the Superdome than the Meadowlands, and it was clear the guys had been to the French Quarter previous to the game (but not too much).

The reason why the Saints play in a dome is because of the Climate of Louisiana. Out of each of the 30 NFL cities, NEW ORLEANS gets the most rainfall annually (63 inches), plus, the humidity (more so September and early October) is oppressive. LSU gets away with an outdoor stadium with this climate, because most (with one or two exceptions max per season, when they get a 2:30 PM national TV or 11:00 AM game) of their home games are at night. LSU also has the advantage of how NCAA (and the Southeastern Conference, of which LSU is a member of) schedule what time games are played at on Saturdays. And Since 1931, when Tiger Stadium first got Lights (possibly the FIRST of the “Traditional 12” SEC schools to do so (correct me if I’m wrong), A&M, Oklahoma, Mizzou, and Texas DO NOT Count here) a majority of LSU home games have been played at night.

I lived in Louisiana as a child for a few years until early 1967 when I was 10 years old. I have vague recollections that a a referrendum or legislation was passed in that time period that led to approval of the Superdome even before the Saints started to play games. I think it was a done deal after the franchise was founded, but it would had taken several years to design, build and open it, while they in the meantime played in Tulane Stadium.

I actually did a lot of work on this for my degree in Urban Geography. Unfortunately, You have several items in this video that need clarification and additional details. First off, there were two proposed sites for these new stadiums and the drawings show two different stadiums. These stadium designs were being proposed in the early 2000s as replacements for the Superdome. The Saints contracts with the State of Louisiana and the Superdome was slated to end in the late 2000s and plans were being discussed to replace the Superdome with these two potential renderings. The first stadium that you pointed out with the glass in the corner was designed as a retractable roof stadium. If you look on the opposite corner from the glass that you mentioned, the drawing shows a hint of a proposed glass door that could be slid open or closed depending on the weather. And the glass roof you mentioned would be on both sides but the white of the roof you see on the top-left of the picture was designed to slide over the playing field from the stands. This design of the glass wall and sliding roof is similar to what you see now in Minute Maid Park in Houston. The proposal site for this location was going to be an even bigger draw for New Orleans because it was literally across the street from the French Quarter. Think of pouring out of the stadium and having to walk 3 blocks to Bourbon Street instead of across downtown to get there. This would not have forced big events away from New Orleans, it would have made it an even bigger attraction. However, this stadium was met with a huge political backlash as the proposed location was the current site of the Iberville Housing Project where numerous low-income families lived. This was quickly spun into relocating poor African Americans to appease rich NFL owners. Naturally, this location was not a favorite of the City Council or several others looking from the outside. The second site was located on the river just to the south of the Crescent City Connection. This site location ran into multiple issues as part of the land was being developed for the New Orleans Convention Center expansion, part of it was owned by individuals who refused to sell and an ongoing design related to an on-ramp to the bridge. Several years later, the New Orleans Convention Center did expand into this location and you can currently see the Convention Center cross under the bridge and into this space. There were also on-going discussions to bring the Saints to the suburbs of Metairie or Covington, but neither of those proposals had much support due to traffic concerns. All of these stadium discussions were still on-going when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. After the storm, there were numerous discussions about tearing the stadium down because of the horrific events that occurred inside (I was there, it happened!). However, the Governor of LA and the Commissioner of the NFL said that the Saints and the Superdome could be the beacon for the city's return. So the other plans were all scrapped and huge amounts of money were put into updates and refitting the Superdome. On a personal note, I don't think that the Superdome and the City of New Orleans is 'done' hosting Super Bowls. In the previous decades it was a regular rotation between New Orleans, Miami, San Diego, Arizona and whoever was building a new stadium would get a 'Thank you' Super Bowl. Now, there are so many stadiums and cities that can legitimately compete with New Orleans for the big event. So while I don't see them as done, they are going to get the big game far less frequently due to the rise of other quality candidates for the game. Additionally, the Superdome actually has a VERY storied history of hosting baseball. The New York Yankees and the Oakland Athletics both were strong contenders to relocate to the city in the early 1980s. Here is a great history along with cited references of the Superdome's history with baseball: sabr.org/bioproj/park/superdome-new-orleans/ I also suggest this video of the University of New Orleans Baseball playing in the Superdome against the University of Miami, Oklahoma State and Mississippi State. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWPJmWyalLqIbcU Finally, while the Superdome is getting up there in age, there is also a point where a stadium makes a transition into "Iconic" status. Wrigley Field, Fenway, and Lambeau all had times where the debate came up about preserving an Icon or moving into something new. Go ask some Yankee fans or Celtic Fans about losing the iconic Yankee Stadium (the old one, not the replica new one) or feelings about Boston Garden. I suspect that the Superdome, with the updates and renovations that are ongoing, will take its place with other iconic stadiums that have stood the test of time.

Fun Fact: The Superdome's roof is not actually attached to the rest of the structure. It stays in place only because of its dead weight that rests on a tension ring. This was done to allow for thermal expansion. Through most of the construction it was suspended six feet above the ring on jacks. Then at some point the jacks were carefully lowered and the roof lowered on to the ring. I remember it was a big deal on the local news when it happened. I found an article on the roof that contains a quote from architect Nathaniel Curtis: "This ring, capable of withstanding the massive thrusts of the dome structure, is made of 1-1/2-inch-thick steel and prefabricated in 24 sections that were welded together 469 feet in the air. Because the strength of the welds is critical to the strength of the tension ring, they were performed by a specially trained and qualified welder in the semicontrolled atmosphere of a tent house which was moved around the rim of the building from one weld to another. Each individual weld was x-rayed to ensure the perfection of the vital joints. On 12 June 1973, the entire roof, weighing 5,000 tons, was jacked down onto the tension ring i

I'm not a fan of either domes or artificial/field turf, but I will play devil's advocate in favor of New Orleans retaining a domed stadium for the Saints, for the following reasons. 1) When the Superdome was built in the 1970's, we were experiencing the coldest winters of the 20th century. In fact, Super Bowl VI, played outdoors at Tulane Stadium, had the coldest temperature of any Super Bowl at 39F. 2) In addition to the NFL, the NCAA likes domes for its men's Division I basketball Final Four, and the Superdome has hosted six of these; most recently in 2022. 3) I'll bet the evacuees from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 were glad for the roof of the Superdome when it was pressed into service as a shelter that August with thousands of New Orleans residents needing a dry place from that devastating storm.

New Orleans won’t drop out of the Super Bowl rotation. The city is too much of a destination, which is a big part of the appeal of the whole weekend. There are now more cities to contend with, especially Las Vegas, but New Orleans will stay in the rotation.

just say you’ve never been to new orleans. we love the dome. also, it’s the only stadium in the nfl that’s so easy to draw, kindergarteners in art class can draw it! try getting a kid to draw any other stadium and make it look recognizable. i’ll wait.

Yeah you can tell you have no idea about New Orleans or southeast Louisiana weather. There is a reason LSU plays most of its games at night, it’s way too hot and humid and oh by the way these things called hurricanes. It’s not comfortable for the fan base and New Orleans gets a lot of crazy lightning and rain storms. The city is not gonna build them a new stadium but if they ever get one it will need to have a retractable roof.

As a season ticket holder I can tell you that the Superdome is perfect the way it is. In LSU’s Tiger stadium there is a short period of 2-3 weeks in October where the whether is perfect. The rest of the time it’s 100 percent humidity. There are constantly people passing out due to heat exhaustion, getting soaked due to rain, terrified by thunderstorms, or freezing, because humidity hits both ways makes it feel way colder then what the temperature says in the winter. Yet the Superdome is 70 degrees, no humidity, no matter what. An outdoor stadium in New Orleans would suck. LSU’s season is shorter so a higher percentage in October, college students, and their fan base knows drill that they are probably going to sweat, get rained on, or freeze. At LSU you get no relief from the weather during the game (so unless your a wild college student) and are pretty exhausted after the game ends. In New Orleans we party outside before the game, get a 4 hour break from the heat/cold/rain (recharge while still having fun) during the game, then strangely even the older folks sometimes actually still have the energy to party again after the game. It’s perfect. Natural light adds a ton of natural heat which we don’t need more of in Louisiana.

There are new renderings for an arena in Virginia for the Washington Capitals and Wixards as well as an entertainment district area in new renovations at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. Would be curious to get your thoughts on those. I think moving the 2 teams from DC to Virginia might be troube for Capital One Arena in the District.

I’ve been to other NFL stadiums Not just speaking as a diehard Saints fan but we have the best facility in the entire nation, Literally everything about it is perfect, getting in the stadium takes less than 60 seconds , even though it’s in the middle of the city, parking isn’t a massive issue And my had the concession stand situation is possibly the easiest and most efficient in all of the league.

I wish this guy would visit the stadiums and cities he is critiquing before he bashes them. He just says every stadium built before 2007 needs to be replaced. He wonders how many times the Superdome will host the Super Bowl. People love going to the Super Bowl in New Orleans, because of the fun atmosphere of New Orleans and the location of the Superdome being downtown near all the hotels and only a 20 minute walk from the French Quarter. It is not like the Bay Area, Dallas, LA, Miami, or Phoenix where you have to travel 30-45 minutes by car from the host city to the stadium. Also, retractable roofs for football are overrated. They only open from the 30 to the 30 and it doesn't give you the feeling like you are outdoors. Plus a retractable roof alone doesn't allow a team to grow natural grass. Finally, all NFL teams should have domes. Without a dome you are limited to your 8 home games and a few concerts. With a dome more promotors will be willing to host their events at your venue and you can host the Final Four.

Wish someone would tell the Buffalo bills this , but no they want an outdoor stadium even though they get feet of lake effect snow off of Lake Erie and windchill of -20 degrees. They are more worried about home field advantage, then having a year round indoor stadium making money!
