Everyone loves coming to the Dome for a Superbowl since it is always good weather inside and it is right smack dab in the middle of a great tourist city. Hotels, restaurants and parties all close by.

If you hadn't been there since 2005 you wouldn't recognize it at all.

They also rebuilt all the restroom facilities and by far increased the number for women (we all know why) and totally rewired the entire facilty.
