We had the pleasure to have seats at Fenway Park where the support beam is in the way so you to move around to see anything, good times. We went when they were honoring Ted Williams right after his death so it's an experience ill never forget
As with the dome, fix a couple things and leave it alone, last thing I want is a new stadium because I refuse to pay psl's |

RenovationsThe Superdome in early 2006 began to undergo $320 million in renovations in three phases, due to its contract with the New Orleans Saints. New windows have been installed for natural lighting, and a new face lift will be constructed. The roof-facing of the Superdome will be remodeled with a solid white hue and the sides of the dome panels will resemble a champagne bronze color. The entire outer layer of the stadium, more than 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) of aluminum siding, will be replaced with new aluminum panels and insulation, and an innovative barrier system for drainage will be added by 2010. The dome is set to resemble its original facade.
In addition escalators will be added to the outside of the club rooms. Each suite will have modernized rooms with raised ceilings, leather sofas and flat-screen TVs, as well as glass, brushed aluminum and wood-grain furnishings. A new $600,000 point-of-sale system is also being installed, which will allow fans to purchase concessions with credit cards throughout the stadium for the first time. Once all three phases of the renovation are completed the Superdome will be one of the most up-to-date facilities in the U.S. At the beginning of 2011 construction will begin to the lower bowl of the stadium, reconfiguring it to increase seating by 3,500, widening the plaza concourse, building two bunker club lounges and adding additional concession stands. Crews will start tearing down the temporary stairs that lead from Champions Square to the Dome, replacing them with permanent steps. Workers also will complete the installation of express elevators that will taxi coaches and media from the ground level of the stadium to the press box. Plans also call for two 7,500-square-foot bunker lounges on each side of the stadium. The lounges will be equipped with flat-screen TVs, granite counter tops and full-service bars. The lounges will serve 4,500 fans, whose old plaza seats will be upgraded to premium tickets, giving those fans leather chairs with cup-holders. The plaza level will also be extended, closing in space between the concourse and plaza seating to add new restrooms and concession areas. The renovations will also end the stadium's ability to convert to a baseball configuration. |

i agree with sky mike. the only thing the tv is good for is for replays. other than that i think theymake the place look cheap.
i worked on the dome project putting the new skin on the outside and the windows in the 4 corners of the dome @ the club levels. trust me, for the beginning of this year the dome will be up to date and will look 10 times better than it ever did. if somone can tell me how to put pics on here i can update pics from inside and out. im there almost everyday when im not doing paperwork for the project. |

Dome renovations, fine to keep it fresh, new, and updated. Add seats. Change seatsand sections,fine.
LA Superdome is better than most places out there now. I have never been to Dallas Cowboys stadium. Dallas Cowboys Stadium had no seats for people who bought tickets. Whoa! I know you guys heard about that. All of SB the Dome has hosted, things like that has never happened in Dome. No Seats for 400 Super Bowl Ticket Holders | NBC Dallas-Fort Worth |

"douchey" hahahahahaha...
I'll tell you what, if you're going to spend millions on renovations, how bout some Terrace seats big enough for my butt and the fat guy next to me. Its been two seasons, and I think me and him are pretty much going steady now. I've had marriages with women, where there was less body contact. If we just swayed a little, we'd be slow dancing. Win or lose, I always leave the Dome feeling a little cheap. |
