The Super Dome has done all of the above expect hockey, but the Dome has done football and baseball.

MSG has basically been around since the advent of recorded music and television. The Superdome can't compete with 80 years of history.

Isn't this the THIRD iteration of Madison Square Garden, though?

Same for the Boston Garden, the old garden was completely demolished and the current arena is totally new. Old Chicago Stadium was another, it had a humongous freaking theater-pipe organ built into the walls.

The Superdome, sorry folks, but think of the moments there? Super Bowls, Ali vs. Spinks, Leoanard vs. Duran (no más), Final Fours Michael Jordan's steal, Keith Smart's jumper, the non-existent time out for Michigan, Pete Maravich pours in 68 for the Jazz against the Knicks. Pppe John Paul II, And those are just off the top of my head.

The 2009-2010 NFCCG, Sugar Bowls, national championship games.

Iconic has NOTHING to do with fan comfort or perceived fan comfort (stupid shite-hole comments, it's not your living room nor should any sports venue be.)

The Astrodome was pretty iconic for being the first, the Superdome is still relevant in this age of "tear 'em down" Buster Curtis was a freaking genius. The old Kingdome appeared really barren, a concrete pile, but fill it with Seahawks' fans, especially in the Jim Kreig, Steve Largent, Nash, days? WOW.

All that said, OLD Yankee Stadium, before the renovations of the 1970s belongs on the list along with Fenway and Wrigley (don't forget all the years the Bears played there, too.)

Both L.A. venues have been seen by BILLIONS of people over the years, that means something.

Lambeau and OLD Soldier Field, especially after the Bears moved out of Wrigley Field.
