Why are these black and white? Hell the building broke ground in '71 yet these pictures would make you think it was during the Great Depression.

That is a pretty damn cool pic.
I agree. Dixon's a hero.
We also have to give Louisiana Governor John McKeithen credit for getting the ball rolling in the state legislature and making sure it stuck. He fought off many challenges to it. Governor McKeithen and his political muscle is responsible for that Dome standing today.

I hope Saints fans and/or residents of the greater new orleans area truly understand and appreciate how much Dave Dixon did for the city. His vision of building the biggest dome possible not only awarded us an NFL team, but to this day it continues to bring in billions of dollars for this city and state annually.

Present Day
The Phantom of the Superdome !!
He lives !
Hiding by day. Owning the night. He lives in the Superdome surreptitiously so that he can enjoy his beloved New Orleans Saints and Tulane Green Wave football games for free !
THE PHANTOM OF THE SUPERDOME !

I agree with you. My best guess is that it is a Times Picayune newspaper reporter photo, and, the paper only paid for black and white still photo film for their reporters.
You'd think that the Superdome would have had its own Public Relations people out there taking color publicity photos of the project, but, people in NOLA did not do things that way back then.
