New Stadium?

darstep · 02-11-2010, 09:45 AM

Now is the worst time to be talking about a new stadium. Especially if it once again belongs to the people of the state, and tax monies are subsidizing it. But here is some relief, Ray is on his way out, Mitch is on his way in, and all those monies that "somehow" couldn't get delivered are going to begin to flow like the mighty Mississippi. Shovel ready projects by the drove will start about a year from now and will run well into Mitch's 2nd term. From levee upgrades to streets and drainage projects to possibly a Brand Spanking New State of the Art Olympic Grade Multi-Purpose Monstrosity, compliments of Mary and the Federal Gov.'s New Orleans Revitalization Initiative blah-blah-blah. Might be kind of nice. Personally, I like the Dome.

I heard somewhere recently that naming rights to the Super Dome could be up for sale. I could be wrong but I thought that with the current deal the naming right are to the state of La. Isn't it the Louisiana Super Dome?

i'm all in on a new stadium, it could be domed again. they can make the roof open up on the west bank to let the patrons walk the mississippi to the game. lol

I guess a new fancy stadium would be cool, but the dome still gets the job done.

SUPERDOME FOREVER!!!!

That's my not so distant childhood we're talking about.

Whatever happened to going to a stadium to watch a game and not being concerened about the color of the tile. You have a seat, beer, food, and a loud ass home field advantage. Screw the yuppie features. Jerry built a big IMAX theatre. I'd puke if the Saints had to play in something like that. A new stadium doesn't equa wins or filling in the seats. Last time I checked the dome is sold out and has a waiting list miles long. Adding more seats would increase revenue but I don't understand the "Modernize" argument. What you want laser toilets and a theme park inside?

Think of it this way, the night Jerry's World opened up, the Cowgirls got their a*ses handed to them by the G-men. And does anyone remember the punter who kicked the football into the jumbotron during pre-season?? (Sorry, can't remember his name) You know what they say about big stadiums, right?! Coming from a woman's POV, it looks like Mr. Jones has the little man syndrome!

They just made millions in upgrades to the SUPERdome and I agree that they won't talk about this until 2025.

Lynwood and breesfan are just crazy funny people.
I am laughing so hard.
Very good posts and yeha,you both have a point.

Breesfan, gogle Dallas New Football Stadium and you will see pictures of art works that are inside the stadium. It is all very pretty.
It is part museum and part DC home.
Look at the calendar of events. It does not have many events coming up and hardly any big events. How is Jerry's World going to make it? Beats me.
Superdome has evey year : Esscense Fest., Saints games, Bayou Classic, Sugar Bowl. Those are big events, but still probably not enough.
Does SDome get some Carnival balls? Carnival parades disband? I cannot remember.

Yeah, I've seen pictures of it. It is nice, but it is a little too much. Like I said before, Mr. Jones is compensating for something.
