New Orleans doesn't need a new stadium, but it needs to start planning another Superdome renovation

K Major · 01-30-2017, 08:43 AM

When 2022 SB bids come around, NOLA will earn the bid & host another SB.

Didnt we just do a damn renovation? There's nothing wrong with the Superdome. I dont even need that silly giant screen. I dont go to football for ameneties. I go to football for football. I'd rather sit on a metal bench in Lambeau than a cushioned luxury seat in Jerry World.

Where else can you fly in, then walk everywhere else including the actual venue itself? Not many other places have that. Then you add world class cuisine (again ALL within walking distance or short cab) and add an everything-goes attitude around it? Hard not to vote for Nola every year.

Of course, I didn't think the Beyonce/power outage helped us much. Hope I'm wrong but that wasn't a good look at all.

Give credit where credit is due > Entergy Power Outage

They didn't have the capacitors to handle Beyonce'...

Hate to say it, but the Superdome will never host another Super Bowl, after the Great Beyonce Blackout. There has never been a more embarassing black eye to happen to a city/stadium in all the history of pro sports, period, end of story. Sorry, another Super Bowl is just not going to happen until/unless they get a new stadium built. I was laughing pretty hard at the time, but there will always be a question in the public's minds, as to whether the blackout influenced the momentum of the game.

Wouldn't surprise me if you were right about this...

Well, you are wrong about this. New Orleans has submitted SB bids since that partially blackout and have been told to keep submitting bids. Now what you are obviously unaware of, cities have to be INVITED by the league to submit bids. The league has to be fully in favor of a city hosting the SB before they hand out the invitations. Goodell even personally told Benson we'd get another SB soon and to keep trying after the selections last May.

Have to disagree with you on this. Most embarrassing thing to happen is when your stadium is named after an energy company (Reliant Energy) and the power goes out. This happened in Houston a few years ago.

HAHAHAHA...

I Hate Reliant, or NRG, Or whatever its called.
There was nothing wrong with the Astrodome.

Then again I never thought places like Mile High, Seattle King Dome, Texas Stadium, Three Rivers or the historic Miami Orange bowl would ever be torn down
