Home of the New Orleans Saints, the Louisiana Superdome
is one of the NFL’s biggest stadiums. In the
mid 1960’s New Orleans businessman Dave Dixon
envisioned a dome stadium that could bring a football
team to the area. In 1966, his vision became a reality
after much discussion and planning, the Louisiana
Legislature passed a bill that allowed the stadium
to be built. After reaching an agreement to build
a stadium, the NFL awarded the area a team, the
New Orleans Saints. Construction began in August
of 1971, and was completed by August 1975. The dome
stadium was named the Louisiana Superdome, because
of its massive size. The Superdome covers 13 acres
and is 27 stories tall. From the outside it looks
like a massive spaceship.
Opening day for the Saints at the Superdome was
on September 28, 1975. Almost 70,000 multicolored
seats in three tiers circle the entire field at
the Superdome. Every seat next to another one is
a different color, making it look like their are
more people at games than there really are. Several
video/scoreboards are located inside the Superdome.
During the summer of 1996, the Superdome underwent
$22.8 million in renovations including, a new entrance
lobby and ticket offices, an additional concourse
serving the upper level seats, refurbished ballrooms,
additional accommodations for the disabled, and
upgraded safety and security equipment. After the
2002 season the Astroturf playing field was replaced
with Fieldturf. The Superdome hosts numerous other
events other than football. It has hosted baseball
and basketball games, trade shows, conventions,
concerts, and many other events. The Superdome has
hosted six Super Bowls. During the past year, the
Saints having been looking at options of possibly
building a new retractable roof stadium by 2009.
