Maybe I'm being naive, but I would prefer to never have another Super Bowl here over building a new stadium in the next 10-20 years. New Orleans without the Superdome is not dissimilar to NYC without the Empire State Building, that's how important it is to the history and image of the city. Hosting Super Bowls is great, but it's not the only thing we host down here. Not having it will not cripple the city, and it surely won't affect most of our lives. In fact, it will be helpful not having to deal with traffic.
Exactly. You have to look at how much a couple of Super Bowls will bring in compared to the cost of a new stadium. Not comparable, I don't think.

Also, whether we like it or not, it is not much different than the massive tax breaks or TIFs, or similar avenues that are afforded large corporations to bring their operations to a state. It is a promise of business, jobs and economic impact by the corporation that incentivizes the states to offer these tax breaks, land offerings, etc.

Bulldoze the convention center and move the stadium there. Have all future conventions at the Superdome. Bam.
