Update on the renovation project. I can't wait to see all of the additions to the East side 200 level where our tickets are located!

…..Waiting for Bako to find a way to tie this negatively with Micheal Thomas and/or Loomis. 🤔

I would if I had to, but beers and mixed drinks are a lot less than that.

One thing I'm really looking forward to is the Wifi upgrade due next season. By the end of next season everything in there will be cutting edge and all for a fraction of the price of building a whole new facility. Basically, everything in it beyond the very basic frame will be new.

If any of you have not been to a game in the Dome since this project began you'll not recognize the place.

I have always felt we did a million renovations and never seriously pursued a new stadium because of corruption in Louisiana. You can’t build a new stadium and embezzle 50% because everyone will notice if a stadium costs double what it should compared to comperable recent stadium builds. But its a lot harder to say how different a $250 million vs $450 million renovation should look.

Hopefully this renovation will include ramps to make the stadium more accessible to Michael Thomas.

There is no doubt that corruption is rampant in Louisiana. Just look at how narrow the Huey P Long bridge is. As I understand it, for every inch shaved off the side money was pocketed by corrupt politicians. This is just one example of shameless greed running Louisiana. Even our governor flies first class....

Re: SuperDome Set for a $450 Million Renovation

I can tell you personally that the renovations through last season have been great and with what we'll have at the beginning of this season will make it one of the nicest in the league.

All of those stupid space wasting ramps are gone. There are now express escalators and elevators that go directly to and from specific levels in a fraction of the time.

Even haters like Bako will be impressed. But, then again, he'd never set foot in the place anyway unless it was to hold up hate filled signs. Does the guy ever post anything that isn't filled with hate and venom? I only see what others quote and every one is the same crap.

Sad.
