New Stadium?

I don't think we need to get a new stadium, but those seats (except the loge 200 level) NEED TO GO!!!

It can't cost more than a couple of million to put in modern seats into that place ... At-least do that! I agree with most everyone else --- The Dome is BAD ASS ... We don't need to be "like everyone else" ... We just need a few modifications.

When you go to the Superdome, you are not trapped in a huge area surrounded by a huge parking lot, as the Dome is pretty much within walking distance of everything Downtown NO has to offer.

Same with Superbowls: NO gets awarded Superbowls not because they have a state of the art stadium, but because the city can handle the crowds.

Also, moving the Dome from the CBD would negatively affect many businesses in the CBD.

So, just renovate the Dome if need be, and see what's up in 15 years..

Exactly.
