I want the Dome to be around so long that someone finds it in a few thousand years.

Isn't it built over an old cemetery or Indian mound ?

Seems not, but the parking lots and the mall were. That seems appropriate...

The story behind of the "Superdome curse" has endured for years, despite the fact that it is really only partly true. The only part of the Superdome to sit on what was once the old cemetery are two of its parking garages. The rest of the cemetery was on land now occupied by Champions Square and the old New Orleans Centre shopping mall. (Also, never mind the fact that the Saints played like a cursed team even during their first eight years, when they were based out of Tulane Stadium.)
