Have to disagree. Although I like our Dome and the history there, and have been attending there for a long time, I would love a new Dome that seats more people and is most importantly, more easily accessible when driving in on game day.
We seat like 79,000 and have >40,000 people waiting on season tickets. Filling the seats wouldn't be an issue.

I haven't been to the Dome in a long time but IF we needed one I seriously doubt the hard headed bone heads in NO would allow it...
They'll rage on for years about History and ****...
It's a freaking building move on

They should name it "The Infirmary". Not for the pain they will be bringing, but for the amount of medical staff they will need to hire to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on the team every year when they choke.

The thing about Super Dome though is its almost become a staple of the city, its like you got no New Orleans unless you got the Super Dome there.

Thats how important that place has become over the years. Most importantly though, theirs little in comparison to the dome world wide.

Now if say they built the current dome bigger or tore it down and rebuilt it much bigger with the same look, then thats all gravy.

It's really too bad they just don't play the SuperBowl there every year. Other than Miami, I can't think of a host city or facility that even compares.

Well their is Cowboys Stadium and the Rose Bowl.

Thats about as far as it goes IMO outside of Miami and the Super Dome.
