This season the Mercedes-Benz Superdome will be home to the New Orleans Saints and to Super Bowl XLVII. These two experiences would not necessarily be the same, even if the Saints make their way into the Super Bowl. The NFL makes great efforts to de-emphasize the host franchises influence during normal Super Bowl preparations, now imagine the Saints actually making the game this coming February.

All mentions of the New Orleans Saints in and around the Superdome (with the exception of the NFC end zone) will be removed and replaced with images of the Super Bowl XLVII logo, the NFL Shield, and the NFL's corporate partners. A sterilization of the Superdome and it's surrounding area will begin not long after the Saints play their final true home game (preferably the 2013 NFC Championship Game).
