re: Brees: New stadiums becoming crucial for cities to land Super Bowls

The problem isn't with the Dome, per se, as a venue, especially after the post-Katrina renovations. I still marvel at how modern, and at the same time classic, it looks. That's especially true at night. Any "problems" with it can be remedied without an entirely new stadium being built. The real issue is rewarding a city for devoting public dollars to a new stadium rather than the stadium itself being so superior to another site.

ETA: And I can' think of another location that would maintain the advantages that it has now with proximity to everything. I suppose on the river near the Convention Center comes close.
