This renovation keeps the Saints in the state for the foreseeable future, and more importantly, keeps the Dome in the rotation for the Super Bowl and all other huge events. The $450 million was a fraction of what it would take to build an entire new complex for basically the same end result. New stadiums are running two to three billion, for example.

More like having her essence transferred into a fresh, new, young body.

She's a thing of beauty! Renovate. Remodel. But, never replace the old girl!
