Champion Square
 
Just want to say what an awesome addition it is to the Superdome. Just got back from the Avett Brothers concert there and was really impressed. We went to the square couple of years ago and watched a game in the big screen. It is really nice for those who can't go to the game or don't want to go to an actual game. It was really cool sitting there with a bunch of fans watching the game on the big screen. You really get a game day atmosphere while you get a close up view of the game. Almost simulates being inside the Dome. I go to games once a year or so but mostly prefer to watch on TV because you get close up action. I will definitely try and catch a few games in Champion Square this year. I suggest you try it out if you can.

It is a bad ass concert venue too.

During the late 90's, my friends and I use tailgate under the overpass. We'd setup around 9am, free parking, grill, drink, and listen to WWL. Had some great times out there. It felt really in tune with the fellowship of rooting for an underdog team. Kinda Miss those days. That area is no longer accessible. Everyone (and their wallet) is funneled into the Square like a Disney ride. It's nice, not complaining at all but certainly family oriented.
